Warrior of the Wind
By Suyi Davies OkungbowaPublisher Description
From city streets where secrets are bartered for gold to forests teeming with fabled beasts, Suyi Davies Okungbowa's sweeping epic of forgotten magic and violent conquests continues in this richly drawn fantasy inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa.
There is no peace in the season of the Red Emperor.
Traumatized by their escape from Bassa, Lilong and Danso have found safety in a vagabond colony on the edge of the emperor’s control. But time is running out on their refuge. A new bounty makes every person a threat, and whispers of magic have roused those eager for their own power.
Lilong is determined to return the Diwi—the ibor heirloom—to her people. It’s the only way to keep it safe from Esheme’s insatiable desire. The journey home will be long, filled with twists and treachery, unexpected allies and fabled enemies.
But surviving the journey is the least of their problems.
Something ancient and uncontrollable awakens. Trouble heads for Bassa, and the continent of Oon will need more than ibor to fix what's coming.
Praise for The Nameless Republic:
"A thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new world . . . and then rips apart everything you think you know."—S. A. Chakraborty
"An original and fascinating epic fantasy full of bold characters, bloody action, and brutal politics.”―James Islington

“Awesome epic fantasy story!! This was a great continuation to where we left off with Son of the Storm!! Definitely more ramped up than the first book that gave us detailed world and character building. Plot on to of plot, turn of events that had my jaw drop, new characters in the mix. It was so good! I can not wait for the third book in this trilogy and have been kindly stalking all Okungbowa’s socials and web page lol. I want book 3!”Characters change and growMulti-layered charactersBeautifully writtenDescriptive writingAddictiveSuspensefulUnpredictableMagical settingRealistic setting

“What an incredible book! This is a vastly underrated series. It really has everything: complex politics and empire-building, a creative magic system, exploration of the many types of family relationships, adventure, a ruthlessly ambitious emperor, and a band of unlikely misfits who learn to trust one another despite their differing personal goals and motivations. There's a lot going on in the story, but don't be intimidated because: (1) there's an excellent short summary of the first book at the very beginning; (2) a list of characters (including name pronunciation); and (3) a glossary of terms and locations.
Both this book and the first have such a poignant exploration of social hierarchy, privilege, immigration, and race, it gives the book more depth and meaning. It makes this more than just a fun story, but also a way we can understand our world, which is a great strength of the fantasy genre. Characters learn about new cultures and meet people different from themselves in a way that feels very real while also being an excellent example of tolerance and inclusion (but doesn't come off as preachy). There's also awesome representation of many types of families.
Amazing storytelling, complex plot, intriguing characters, and a fantastical world.”
