ONE OF TIME'S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF ALL TIME - In the third book of the New York Times bestselling Nsibidi Scripts series, Sunny once again risks it all for the safety of the world as she and her loyal friends embark on a quest to retrieve a critical item from the realm of magic. 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 A classic hero's journey set far from the Western canon of fantasy, while always staying readable, aware, intelligent and playful.--Tor
From the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy 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 it may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her loyal friends, Sunny bravely 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.
