A cage of gold. A heart of fire.
Princess Esohe is Benin's best-kept secret. Born of a slave and blazing with forbidden magic, she has spent her life locked in the dark, hidden by a father who fears what she might become.
But when the call of the wild draws her beyond the palace walls, she finds a kingdom on the brink. The forests are dying, spirits stir, and a ruthless darkness hungers for the light in her blood.
Princess Esohe is Benin's best-kept secret. Born of a slave and blazing with forbidden magic, she has spent her life locked in the dark, hidden by a father who fears what she might become.
But when the call of the wild draws her beyond the palace walls, she finds a kingdom on the brink. The forests are dying, spirits stir, and a ruthless darkness hungers for the light in her blood.
Hunted by the King's fiercest captain and guided by Osaze, a scarred hunter with his own vendetta, Esohe must journey into the Ghost Lands to master her volatile gift. But as foreign ships breach the horizon and war drums thunder, Esohe realizes that freedom comes at a brutal cost.
To save her people from the encroaching Iron Age, the Hidden Princess must stop hiding in the shadows... and become the fire that burns it all away.
A sweeping African historical fantasy of destiny, sacrifice, and the fire that refuses to die.
