Inspiration from African Tales by Felicien Aroni Kanyamibwa
Legs of Tornado
Long ago, the people of Rwanda suffered through a terrible famine. The rains did not come to help the crops grow, the grass withered, and the soil became so dry that it cracked. The people looked to their village chiefs for guidance, but the chiefs could not help. They looked to the king, but he could not bring the rain. Only the magical tail of a mystical creature could save the kingdom. Maguru is Rwanda’s best hunter, even better than the king—and certainly better than his jealous village chief. He’s hunted the buffalo, the antelope, and the leopard, but he has never hunted the deadly imparambwe. To save his people, Maguru must now learn to outrun the wind and outwit a creature that can change shape in the wink of an eye. If he succeeds, he’ll be a hero. If he fails, his people will die of starvation. Maguru is determined not to fail.
This is the tale of Maguru ya Sarwaya, Legs of Tornado, the human from a humble upbringing who outran the wind, defeated evil spirits, overcame his fate, became a respected clan chief, and triumphed ever after.
after.
As an infant, I was first told—and often told again—this tale by my own mother at bedtime. Then, my older siblings added their own versions when my mother was not around.
Now, I am sharing my memory so that you, the reader, can build your own.

A story woven out of passion, power, and desire for something grand. Felicia, with her abysmal writing style and down-to-earth characters, is here to boost your thirst for adventure.
Even Roosters dream to fly is a tale of a boy who seeks big things in life. His dream is to be the future king and leave behind a legacy. Eyes brimming with passion and a soul ready for action, he conquers his day-to-day challenges and makes a mark for himself in the kingdom.

King Manzi unleashes the threads of his life story on his son in prison so that the coming generation can learn from his mistakes and be well aware of their actions and the consequences tied to them.
The author constructs a life-like protagonist who takes the readers on a journey of his rise turned demise, how he fought with bulls and hunted vicious animals, how he won the hand of the princess and wooed the crowd away, and then suddenly, after obtaining his lifelong achievement, he fell into the trap of Germans, and as a result, his kingdom paid the price.
The narrative that rips open the wound of guilt and takes you into the head of the man who lost everything in a speck of light, how easily manipulated a human mind can be, how mischievous a smile can be, and how heartbreaking the past can be. Be aware of the ones who scorn your presence but be highly cautious of the ones who smile to your face. The novel is a cluster of different themes working side by side drama, family, power, war, passion, guilt, and love are some of the prominent ones,
Skillfully crafted, Even Rooters dream to fly is the tale regarding the relentless pursuit of the hero who stops at nothing to achieve his destiny, albeit, with each chapter, we see his destiny collapse, reform, and stand in a reflection much different than what he imagined it to be. Hope, loss, and denial, we see our protagonist twist and conform to the environment, transforming himself through each crash of a wave personified in the form of rivalries, friendships, and romance. Similar to the seasons we experience, each chapter brings with it a solstice that calls for different feelings and yearnings for each character. Alas, as for the villains, much can be said without lifting the veil. Even Roosters Dream to Fly
