Warrior of the Wind

By Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Warrior of the Wind by Suyi Davies Okungbowa digital book - Fable

Publisher 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

“What I love is that no one really “wins”. Those who achieved power struggle to stay in power - everything shifts, and the pieces on the board are constantly moving. This sequel is mostly from LiLong’s point of view - Danso, unlike the first book, takes mostly a back seat. There’s less focus on the caste system (Son of the Storm puts more emphasis on Shashi, Idu, yellow skin, etc., since it’s integral to Danso’s story). Instead, the book focuses on power, the effect it has on the world, and its potential consequences. It makes me wonder what the third book will be like. Will Esheme take most of the chapters, or are we going to have a more balanced mix of Danso and Lilong?”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I was happy to return to Oon to see where Okungbowa would take his characters and readers next. at times I did find the pacing slow but that did not impact my engagement with the story at all, because Okungbowa knows just where to interject action or a new person/place that adds another layer of complexity to his world. and he continues to build the world, as he takes us from desert to swamp to the sea. I cannot wait to see what the conclusion to.this series brings.”
