Grasping At Straws. Book 1, by Yvonne Maphosa

Born in the heart of Matombo, a village tucked away from the rest of the world behind ominous rocks, Lwezi existed under one rule: 'Be seen, not heard'. As she journeyed from childhood, a thoughtless sacrifice upset her transition to womanhood and cast her deep into the Nxumalo royal family with their secrets and woes.
