According to the clan's laws on succession, the boy must look like him, if Tomei is to succeed in his quest for the throne.Taboo and superstition come to a boil during the search for a successor to the throne, as the appearance of a boy causes fear and suspicion, arousing hostility among a gentle and harmonious people.Mwangi, Meja is the author of 'Boy Gift ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781847284716 and ISBN 184728471X.
