In a twist of fate, Ousman meets with Elias, a spiritual teacher who makes him aware of the destiny of their people. A destiny undermined by the rise of a dark society led by Ousman’s own brother, Hamidou. Elias also offers to help Ousman develop the healing powers still dormant in him. Ousman reluctantly chooses to remain a simple soldier, but things are about to change when Hamidou comes after him. Soon, the two brothers face each other in a deadly battle, which is about to affect the future of one of Africa’s greatest empires..
