About
From award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, the electrifying conclusion to the series that started with Akata Witch, named one of Time magazine's "100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time"!
"In this series, Okorafor creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels."
--Time magazine
From the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had magic flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life--America and Nigeria, the "normal" world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person.
Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go...but deadly not to. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in a magical realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed. Nnedi Okorafor is a Nigerian American author of Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism for children and adults. Her works include Who Fears Death (in development at HBO into a TV series), the Akata series, and Ikenga. Nnedi has also written comics for Marvel, including Black Panther: Long Live the King and Wakanda Forever, and the Shuri series. She is the winner of Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Locus, and Lodestar awards and her debut novel, Zahrah the Windseeker, won the prestigious Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature. In 2020, Time magazine named Akata Witch one of the "100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time". She lives with her daughter, Anyaugo, and family in Illinois.
