Power, Betrayal and Prophecy as the Crown Draws Near

Following the explosive Episode 2 with power plays and strategies of war stirring, Episode 3 – A King Rises – comes along with holy rituals, signs of sabotage, and spiritual reckonings that challenge not just leadership, but destiny. Shaka, guided by an unshakeable mother’s faith, is subjected to the trial that will define his right to rule—not just in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of the ancestors.
