Weak and silent, young Sunjata is unable to walk, unable even to pull a bow.

But a prophesy foretold that his mother would bear a son who will become the mansa of all the Mande people-the greatest king ever to rule.

Sunjata sets out to find the strength and courage to fulfill his birthright and to overcome the plotting of a rival queen and the sorcery of the terrible tyrant Sumanguru.

Are the armies and magic that stand against him undefeatable?

Can Sunjata become the leader his people need?
