This novel brings to life the legend of Kisra, the formidable journey that
took Africans from Iran to the West African coast in the Middle Ages. In 636
AD, the Sassanid army, one of the most powerful in the world, was crushed at
Qadisiyya by the Muslim troops of the Rashidun Caliphate. To save their lives
and avoid slavery, black mercenaries from the Persian cavalry were forced into
exile. After a long journey of more than 8,000 km that took them through
Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Chad and Nigeria, their descendants reached the Borgu
region on the Gulf of Benin in the 11th century. There, they founded kingdoms
the traditions of which endure to this day in Nigeria and the Republic of
Benin. It is this epic that is brought to life in this story, which combines
established historical facts, oral tradition, and fiction.
