Mourning drowns the throne as the price of deception is paid, and even those closest to Shaka are spared his wrath. A kingdom laments its deceased king, another declares a new one over it, albeit in questionable manners. While erstwhile wounds which had not fully healed are reopened and sacred ground violated, a storm begins fermenting—not just on the battlefields, but in Shaka's own breast. 

His foes sense there's something different about him. His friends begin to question where his fury will next rampage. When ghosts of the past keep haunting the present, long-hidden secrets start to come undone, and sacrifices are made in secret some willingly, others unwillingly. 

Episode 8 unfolds the cost of power when revenge is your only prayer. But in the darkness, love still exists. So does guilt. And sometimes the most insidious threat is not war, but the silence between a son and his mother. 

With the break of a new dawn, something becomes clear: no one is safe when a grieving king ceases asking questions—and starts demanding blood.
