After a series of events, Ronald finds himself in the position of being the leader of a tribe of Caffres, and he takes on the title of White Chief.As the White Chief, Ronald must navigate the complex political landscape of South Africa, dealing with rival tribes, British officials, and his own feelings of loyalty to both his English heritage and his adopted Caffre tribe.
