The Quest for Cush

Imaro 2: The Quest for Cush is the second book in Charles Saunders' series of African inspired heroic fantasy. It begins with the reunion of Imaro and his kidnapped lover Tanisha, who has been taken to the ruined City of Madness. With the help of their new found friend, Pomphis, a Pygmay from the eastern forests of Nyumbani, they learn of the sorcerous forces that may have been behind the dark wizard that destroyed Imaro's youth.

The trio go to Mavindi, the port capital of the Eastern Coastal kingdom of Azania, in search of the legendary Kingdom of Cush, where Imaro hopes to find answers to the questions that have plagued his life. Who is he? Who was his father, and why was he seemingly cursed, and hounded from birth by forces beyond his control.

This volume further expands the world of Nyumbani, detailing the eastern coastal kingdoms, and also expands the spiritual side of the world, revealing even more of the fantastic forces that are in play in the world of Nyumbani, and their relationship to Imaro.
