Chege grows up in the shadow of his illustrious brother, and has little of the clan's fighting spirit. This makes his father doubt his paternity and treat him with spite. Matters come to a head when the family is kicked out of their land after his brother's conviction for treason, following the 1982 coup attempt. Going to the UK for further studies brings its own surprises for Chege, and after being implicated in Kenya's biggest financial scandal, he opts to return to the politically troubled country to clear his name and sort out his funding. He finds the dreaded Special Branch hot on his heels. He is in danger of joining his brother in jail and is quite unprepared for the discovery that he too must become a 'warrior' in keeping with the family tradition.|Chege grows up in the shadow of his illustrious brother, and has little of the clan's fighting spirit.
