Overview

The Concubine tells the story of Ihuoma, a stuningly beautiful and kind woman who cannot seem to have a typical romantic relationship, especially marriage due to her suitors dying under different mysterious circumstances. Ihuoma's first husband is Emenike who died after fighting Madume who also desires Ihuoma for himself. When Madume attempted to get Ihuoma's hand in marriage, he fails. He died by hanging himself after he was bitten in the face by a cobra. The third suitor is Ekwueme, a handsome young man. When it was revealed that Ihuoma is a sea-goddess who cannot be married to any mortal man, Ekwueme decided to perform a ritual of appeasement to the Sea-King at midnight. He died when one of Ihuoma's children mistakenly shot him with an arrow in his attempt to get a red male lizard needed for the ritual.
