In a post-apocalyptic Africa, the world has changed in many ways, yet in one region genocide between tribes still bloodies the land. A woman who has survived the annihilation of her village and a terrible rape wanders into the desert, hoping to die. Instead, she gives birth to an angry baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand. It doesn't take long for Onye to understand that she is physically and socially marked by the circumstances of her conception. She is Ewu--a child of rape who is expected to live a life of violence, a half-breed rejected by her community. But Onye is not the average Ewu.

En el África postapocalíptica, el mundo ha cambiado de muchas maneras. Pero en una región, el genocidio tribal sigue asolando la tierra. Una mujer que ha sobrevivido la aniquilación de su pueblo y su propia violación vaga por el desierto buscando la muerte. En vez de encontrarla, da luz a una niña color de arena. Al crecer, Onyesonwu entiende que está marcada por la violencia de su concepción. Pero además comienza a manifestar señales de poseer una magia única, y durante una visita al reino de los espíritus se entera de algo trepidante: un ser muy poderoso la quiere asesinar. Su destino mágico y su naturaleza rebelde la llevan a un viaje en el que se enfrentará con la naturaleza, la tradición, la historia, el amor verdadero, los misterios de su cultura y la razón por la cual recibió su aterrador y poderoso nombre. Ganadora del World Fantasy Award y el Carl Brandon Kindred Award, y finalista del premio Nebula, Quién teme a la muerte colocó a Nnedi Okorafor entre las autoras más respetadas y admiradas del género.
