Son of the Storm
"A thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new world . . . and then rips apart everything you think you know." --S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass From city streets where secrets are bartered for gold to forests teeming with fabled beasts, a sweeping epic of forgotten magic and violent conquests unfolds in this richly drawn fantasy inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa. IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS NO DESTINY BUT THE ONE YOU MAKE. In the ancient city of Bassa, Danso is a clever scholar on the cusp of achieving greatness--except he doesn't want it. Instead, he prefers to chase forbidden stories about what lies outside the city walls. The Bassai elite claim there is nothing of interest. The city's immigrants are sworn to secrecy. But when Danso stumbles across a warrior wielding magic that shouldn't exist, he's put on a collision course with Bassa's darkest secrets. Drawn into the city's hidden history, he sets out on a journey beyond its borders. And the chaos left in the wake of his discovery threatens to destroy the empire. Praise for Son of the Storm: "A vibrant tale of betrayal, intrigue, and revolution." --Anthony Ryan, author of The Pariah "An original and fascinating epic fantasy full of bold characters, bloody action, and brutal politics."―James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost "Set in a deftly crafted world of forbidden sorcery, magical beasts, and fractured polities, Okungbowa has created an original and fully conceived new world of fantasy teeming with brilliant possibilities and demanding to be explored!"―P. Djeli Clark, author of A Master of Djinn The Nameless Republic
