Stolen from Africa

Bol

In 1788, Fulani warrior prince Ardo Barkindo Jalo is betrayed, captured, and sold into slavery in Spanish Louisiana. After surviving the brutal Middle Passage and brutal branding on the Belle Rive sugar plantation, he is forced into backbreaking cane-field labor under the overseer's lash. When he enters the illegal underground pit fights to earn secret time with Nia-the quiet plantation healer who has captured his heart-he becomes the legendary "Champion Killer." One unbreakable personal vow now drives him: he will return for her, no matter the cost. Using improvised weapons, gator-hide armor he crafts himself, and an unlikely alliance with Choctaw warriors, Ardo escapes into the deadly Mississippi swamps. Hunted by ruthless bounty hunters with dogs, rifles, and snares, he turns the wilderness into his battlefield. Stolen from Africa is a cinematic tale of one man's refusal to let any system or chain define him. Inspired in part by real Fulani princes and drawn directly from the author's own life as a Black American police officer and martial artist who never learned how to tap out.
