This a great love story of an African princess driven from her homeland and doomed to wander as a restless spirit. The tales of the Black Rose and the Children of Kara are derived from over twenty years of collected stories from D. C. Cowan. The stories take place during a simpler time in history when the slightest hint of a scandal is known for miles around through word of mouth. Never before has an interesting mix of history and fantasy been spliced together in such an intricate and delicate manner.
