The Two Lives of Nduna

Zwelethu Luthuli is the powerful and respected Nduna (Chief) of a shifter clan, masquerading as a wealthy taxi empire owner in Pietermaritzburg. He is engaged to Khanyisa Mdluli, the ambitious, chosen love who brings stability and status to his human life. Their future is meticulously planned.

But fate, in the form of ancient shifter law, shatters their perfect design. Following an attempted assassination, Zwelethu's volatile Shifter spirit demands a Mate for survival—a Mate he discovers is Khanyisa's identical twin brother, the reserved engineer Khethokuhle.

For the clan to survive, Khanyisa must accept a polyamorous life structure known as Isithembhu, binding herself, her chosen husband, and her brother into a complex triad. As war looms and Khethokuhle’s bond anchors the powerful Nduna, the necessary arrangement deepens into something dangerous: Zwelethu falls completely in love with both twins.

Now, with Khanyisa pregnant with the heir and a second child on the way via surrogate for Khethokuhle, Zwelethu must learn to master the dual nature of his heart. Can a single man uphold the sacred duty of the Mate Bond and the deep, abiding loyalty of his marriage, securing the future of the Luthuli lineage with two distinct, powerful forms of love?

Discover a rich, sweeping tale of destiny, duty, and the extraordinary power of a love strong enough to build an empire.
