Award-winning author Suyi Davies Okungbowa begins a thrilling new epic fantasy series of violent conquest, buried histories and forbidden magic.
In the thriving city of Bassa, Danso is a clever but disillusioned scholar who longs for a life beyond the rigid family and political obligations expected of the city’s elite. A way out presents itself when Lilong, a skin-changing warrior, shows up wounded in his barn. She comes from the Nameless Islands – which, according to Bassa lore, don’t exist – and neither should the mythical magic she wields.
Swept into a conspiracy far beyond their understanding, Danso and Lilong will set out on a journey that reveals histories violently suppressed and magic only found in lore . . .
‘Everything I love to see in a fantasy story: masterful, fully-realised worldbuilding, morally complex characters, thoughtful and piercing interrogations of power, privilege, and all the facets of human nature. Damn good stuff!’ – Jenn Lyons
‘A mesmerising coming of age tale set against a thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces and beguiling new world . . . and then rips apart everything you think you know’ – S. A. Chakraborty
‘An elaborately plotted tale of ancient magics and world-shattering politics. I, like many others, will be impatiently waiting for the next instalment!’ – Andrea Stewart
‘One of the most promising new voices in the growing coterie of African SFF writers’ – Wired
