The deadly Jabal-once mortal, now mindless and savage-are consuming the kingdoms of Umoja. The only hope lies in whispers of the Waraka Plant, a mythical cure hidden deep within treacherous lands.
Azizi has been exiled from the only home he has ever known, driven by guilt and desperation to find the Waraka Plant.
Esi has spent ten years running from a past she cannot outpace, having paid the price in prison for a crime she didn't commit.
Now, these two powerful siblings are violently thrust together on a desperate quest. They must survive monstrous beasts, contend with evil witches, and navigate the courts of corrupt kings. Yet, the greatest danger lies between them: Esi has never forgiven Azizi for the betrayal that sent her to prison, and he has never truly atoned.
With the fate of every corrupted soul hanging in the balance, they must mend a decade of bitter resentment, because if they fail to trust each other, the nation of Umoja and perhaps the world of Bani Ala as a whole will surely fall.
