This book is the first of the Zululand Trilogy and takes an in depth dive into historical events of the Griqua tribe and European settlers in late 1800s in southern Africa. The plot is revolves around a slave who wants her Master for herself and gets pulled into dark forces to take care of her Master’s disease stricken wife so that she can take her place.
I don’t usually read historical fictions and this book was a slow start for me since it was so engrossed with the historical and geographical elements that at times I had trouble following the plot. However, I have to commend the Author for doing his research and being able to provide so much detail on the culture and customs during that time period. I was impressed with Oliver Strongs storytelling ability but would have enjoyed it more if there wasn’t as much repetition with the historical facts and more added to the story itself. I did enjoy reading Griqualand and reading a genre I normally wouldn’t pick for myself. I want to thank Oliver Strong for reaching out and giving me the opportunity to expand my reading.

Griqualand: A Land Lost to Time
In the heart of the 1880's, South Africa was a land of contrast, where the old met the new, where tradition was challenged by the drum roll of change.
A land of Golden sunsets and vast savannahs where the echo of ancient ritual could still be detected, traveling on the wind.
At this time, a group of cultural castaways, weary and displaced, made their home upon the Eastern Cape. Their dreams of building a new life, nurtured by the promise of European investment.
In the midst of this transformation a new region was born, Griqualand, a territory named after those who found it, a mixed race community with a rich cultural heritage.
Yet this land was soon overshadowed by the emergence of a dark force. It's powers, feared by locals who dared not cross its path.
As the years rolled on, its evil grip tightened, terrorising those who settle the nation of Griqualand.
