The Thorn and the Throne is an epic fantasy set in an alternate, uncolonized Africa, where the continent remains united under a single, powerful empire. The story follows Akachi (Denzel), a young African king who ascends to the throne amidst chaos and betrayal. Bound by the divine power of the Simbarashe ring, Akachi inherits not only immense strength but also the heavy burden of a throne crafted from blood-soaked thorns and a crown that cuts deeply into his soul.
In a land scarred by ancient wars and shifting alliances, Akachi must navigate the pain of sacrifice and the weight of destiny to unite his fractured kingdom. As storms rage across his empire and shadows of fallen warriors loom, Akachi discovers that true leadership lies not in power but in enduring the thorns of responsibility.
Blending rich African culture with themes of sacrifice, resilience, and redemption, The Thorn and the Throne is a gripping tale of alternate history and epic fantasy that reimagines the possibilities of an unbroken Africa.
