Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled and dominated by women, lived a boy named Samba Yacine.
The boy was doomed to have a miserable life when his mother died and left him at the mercy of his stepmother and stepbrother who treated him like a slave...Until news came in that their queen was going to choose a husband among the young men of her kingdom, on the night of the harvest feast.
Samba didn't think he was good enough to be the chosen one but his stepmother sure believed the opposite. She feared that if Samba entered the selection, her own son would be overshadowed.
But there was one way to get rid of Samba, once and for all. Oh, it was a terrible way indeed but Aida wasn't going to stop at anything to get what she desired. Except that the boy she tried to defeat wasn't as helpless as he appeared to be.
