Confession of the Lioness

A gripping tale of loss and survival, Confession of the Lioness delves into the complexities of human and animal instincts in a troubled village.

In Confession of the Lioness, the haunting tale begins with Mariamar Mpepe, whose life is shattered when her sister falls victim to the lions that have been terrorizing their village.
