Synopsis:

Queen Elena flees to Aba-Zulu, bearing news of a coup in her country, to be followed by an intended attack on Aba-Zulu. The forewarned Dan-El and Natongo break the enemy army in fierce fighting and turn the traitor over to his half-brother, the wounded King Molithi. Molithi exiles Isilo, rather than ordering his death. Dan-El muses that Molithi's abstention from revenge is a greater act than the battle that saved two kingdoms.
