Nkosi's Little Warriors - Julie Sutherland - Bog

The Republic of Nkosi(God) is on the brink of gender cleansing. Two rebel forces terrorise the republic's interior. In a race to overthrow the capital, they raid villages and steal children to build armies. Two young boys, Dorian and Severin, are stolen by a rebel force. Their friendship falls to pieces in the wake of familial loss and first kills. Can it be mended? At its surface, this story unveils the heart and tenacity of stolen children. The boys' journeys, from being stolen to their escape, unearth inner demons: reflections of a society that has been marred by its complicated and bloody history.
