Magic Golden Sword Lucien Nzeyimana

LORDS WITH SPEARS is the first part of a series called MagIc Golden Sword. It is a story about the long-time peaceful people of an imaginary country of Burunga, who received an influx of Spear refugees from neighbouring Dandy. The Spears were ruthlessly vanquished in a tribal war with the Lords over the possession of Dandy, and the Rungans opened camps to cater to the newcomers, even in spite of the opposition to the idea by Colm Djandhi, the young son of Melchior Djandhi, Burunga's president. In the camps, the Spears plot to take control of Burunga, validating Colm's fears. But by then it was too late. Eventually, they attack the palace, remove the president, and kill members of his cabinet. They occupy Burunga and establish a powerful kingdom there. Still, the usurpers are missing a critical element of rule: in the Burunga tradition, one cannot hold real power without the golden sword, now in Colm's possession.

In Lords with Spears, we find a story of humans against humans, humans against nature, brotherhood, and solidarity. There is a revelation here that weakness can be strength, as can unity. The book thrums with horror, crisis, tribal wars, and the profound satisfaction that comes with conflict resolution....
