This is the story of four captured Asante warriors who escaped captivity.

Kwasi Bota, a brave and veteran warrior is captured and imprisoned with his colleagues by the Fantis. The thrill and excitement of the climax is in the attempt to escape from prison. The preparations that preceded this venture and the captives’ subsequent escape from the words of oppression at the hands of the Fantis, as well as the deaths of the run-away captives’ grip the reader like vice.
