概要
The principal character in the book, "Fortune favors the bold", is a polygamous, heartless African man, although socially respected and perceived as cursed as a result of an unexpected bad turn on events.
The protagonist, Asweda, faces severe physical injuries while looking for a mid-wife to assist his wife to deliver. He becomes an embarrassment to society when his wife gives birth to a male child who turns out to be a product of infidelity. He struggles to cover up the shame and, in the process, breaks the laid down society norms, an act which angered the ancestors, marking the onset and manifestation of a curse in his life. His family is very affected by drought, hunger and famine. He struggles to sire a male child.
Asweda, being a romantic man, marries up to four wives, one of whom comes out to be a night runner and a magician.
On a migration mission, Asweda losses all his wealth to thieves, his gardener is killed, and his child becomes critically sick. He heartlessly butchered one of the thieves on a defense mission. Asweda makes a hard decision to bury his gardener in a strange foreign bush land and later haunts him and demands to be buried in ancestral land.
Asweda ignores the cleansing ceremony which comes along with serious consequences. The now poor African man plots rustling exercise in an attempt to gain wealth, killing an 'Oromo' man, in the process running away with a large, s number of cattle. The Oromo men attacked him on a revenge mission, chopping off his leg and throwing him in a cave where he spent quite some time eating rats for survival.
The African polygamous man later reunites with the family only to find all his wives already inherited. He struggled to own back his wives. Asweda sires a son at his old age. Twelve years later, he blesses his son Obulala and then dies partially satisfied. His brother Ocholi also dies mysteriously. Betrayal, cunningness wealth and poverty manifest in Asweda's lineage.

As a fan of richly-layered historical fiction, I found "Fortune Favour The Bold" to be a truly engrossing read. The author has crafted a remarkably vivid and immersive world, drawing the reader deep into the complex social dynamics and belief systems of traditional African culture.

It's an interesting story that has a very unique Aside from being well-written, the flow of the event is really easy to follow. Also, the realistic story is something that can attract the attention of readers.
First story I've read portraying our unique African culture. I highly recommend this, the story drags you into the scene and you can immediate feel the emotions of the characters. FORTUNE FAVOUR THE BOLD is a must read💯💜
It's a great story, although I think you locked your novel too early. Aside the congested paragraphs everything is playing out smoothly.
Amazing work Daniel. Keep up! I love the flow of the story What an amazing work of art. This one should be published in schools. The synopsis is something else, it ignites the desires to keep up with the book till the very end. It is a kind of a book you read and miss meals till you are done.
Woow Just through with the synopsis but I can't get enough of it. Congratulations to the newest author in town, Daniel Osaye. To greater heights man🎉🎉🎉

From severe physical injuries and societal embarrassment to the wrath of ancestors and personal losses, the story is a rollercoaster of emotions. The plot is well-paced and keeps me engaged with its unexpected twists and turns.
A very lovely book ❤️ the storyline , the dialogue, the characters❤️ , I can’t wait to read more chapters 😊😊😊😊😊

Chapter 1 Fortune Favours the bold One hot afternoon, in the second home of the great Asweda, when everyone was under a shed resting after struggling with a huge ugali served with pig weed. Ugali was a staple meal for the Luhya community made by boiling the crushed dried maize. Normally, in African society, especially the Luhya culture, people usually have a great rest after the noon meal. Suddenly there came a tension. Asweda's wife Suzana was experiencing serious labor pains. Suzana yelled so loudly that everybody was terrified. Her sister-in-law hurriedly picked her up and took her to her muddy hut, and she laid on an animal skin facing up. She was then covered with an animal skin. Meanwhile, Asweda ran helter-skelter to go and look for a long-distance runner, who was to run to the neighboring village to look for a traditional mid-wife (who would assist in the delivery process). It was so unfortunate that the entire village had no single traditional mid-wife. To an extent, a runner had to be sent to the neighboring village which was several miles away. Asweda arrived at Owino's home in a manner that would suggest something was messy. A loud, deep voice could be heard calling Owino. In response, a soft voice responded, "Owino has been sent to deliver a message a few weeks ago by the chief and is yet to arrive". Having no other option, Asweda had to go himself, although it would take him time because he was not a professional runner. One hour later, he was seriously sweating while breathing so loudly that you think his heart would burst out of his chest. A bad thing happened, and this angered Asweda to an extent he clicked and almost cursed 'Were'. 'Were' was the name for a supernatural being the community believed in. It was a very unfortunate thing for the entire family. Asweda had hit his leg hard on a sharp rock that left his left leg with a huge
