Akata Warrior

On the electric streets of Lagos and under moonlit baobab forests, American-born Nigerian Sunny Nwazue discovers that her dual heritage is more than a backstory—it’s the blazing ember fueling her destiny as an Akata Warrior. A year after joining the secret Leopard Society, Sunny stands shoulder-to-shoulder with mentor Sugar Cream and fierce friends Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha, poring over her enigmatic Nsibidi book as her spirit face, Anyanwu, whispers ancestral truths. When the masquerade demon Ekwensu stirs an apocalypse across visible and invisible worlds, Sunny must thread her immigrant-rights journey through hidden portals, binding Racial Justice and Cultural Understanding into every spell she casts. From the mist-shrouded villages of Nigeria to Osisi’s crystalline temples, she races against time and betrayal, her courage a roaring drumbeat against fear. This Hugo– and Nebula–winning saga by Nnedi Okorafor merges mythology, history, and magic into a surging river of enchantment, proving that identity—like rivers—can chart its own course to freedom.
