Blue crane’s eye: Summary

Over the last century, there were three hidden towns governed by a chief in the South of Africa. The latter reigned, and the hierarchy passed to the next kin to rule the towns. Up until the current chief Khanya who couldn’t rule because of her illness.

A couple of years before the rite of passage of Khanya, Gacusso wanted to be the one to rule since he was the first born out of the two. However, the ancestors persuaded his father to choose Khanya, insisting that it’s the right choice to make.  The father did so, and the brother stole the inherited spear on the ceremonial day. A spear carrying a special rock, made to sense trouble and protect the people.

As the spear spent more time away from its owner, the three town faced threats to the point where chief Khanya had to choose her successors since she couldn’t carry on with her duties due to her illness. And 50 years later, Li, Park and Iv learned of their assignments and the reason why each was chosen to carry out the tasks of the chief. 50 years later, the three began the journey of finding the stolen spear to rebuild the three town and rescue their people from misery. The misery of seeing their home and land turned into a sinkhole.

Three kids chosen, not only by the chief, but given powers none was aware until their first day at Cyprian school. Since they were little, none of the three understood how they could achieve certain things, but when chief Khanya announced to them of their fate, their lives changed forever. Now, as the days goes by, each found themselves tangled into playing a game than what they initially intended to. As they spent more time re-discovering their lives, the three learnt to fight the shadow of their future while trying to win a bring back to life a town that birthed them.
