-- D.W. Duke Unveils a Riveting Exploration of African History
D.W. Duke, acclaimed author and human rights activist, presents In Search of the Golden Chalice: The Untold Story, a novel that intertwines historical fact with a compelling narrative. Co-authored with illustrator Tyesha Law, this work transports readers to 17th-century West Africa, revealing the profound impact of the Solomonic Empire on the region.
With meticulous research and immersive storytelling, the novel follows the lineage of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, illuminating their descendants' struggle against the Atlantic Slave Trade. It offers a new perspective on African history, tracing the migration of Ethiopians and Yemenites to West Africa and their lasting cultural contributions.
A Courageous Battle Against Oppression
Set in 1617, In Search of the Golden Chalice introduces readers to Princess Adebisi, Princess Omolade, and Prince Dapo—descendants of the legendary Solomonic Empire. When faced with the atrocities of the slave trade, they lead a resistance of 2,700 warriors against British and Portuguese forces in a daring battle to free their people.
This conflict, known as the Great Battle to Free the Slaves, serves as the novel’s centerpiece, showcasing the resilience and defiance of a people determined to protect their heritage. The story weaves historical facts with the mythological legend of the Golden Chalice, a sacred artifact tied to their ancestors.
A Narrative Rooted in Historical and Cultural Legacy
Duke’s novel draws inspiration from ancient African and Middle Eastern texts, many of which support the historical connection between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The book also incorporates Yoruba traditions, highlighting the belief that the Solomonic dynasty's descendants helped shape West African civilization.
By presenting a historically rich narrative, In Search of the Golden Chalice challenges traditional Western perspectives and broadens the global understanding of African history.
