Description
Before, Arrah was shamed by having no magic at all. Now, with demons on the warpath, she is the only one in the world who has it.
Explosive fantasy set in a West-African world of magic and legend. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sarah J Maas.
I AM POWER.
I AM MY ANCESTORS.
I DO NOT WALK ALONE.
Rocked by revelations and betrayals, Arrah must now come to terms with a reality that has completely changed.
Where before she lacked the power to call and harness magic, now Arrah is the only one in the world who can. Blessed with the powers of all the chieftains as part of their last stand against the Demon King, Arrah must live up to her lineage – and come to terms with finally getting what she wished for.
Arrah's mother was corrupted by magic. Arrah's father was defeated by it. Arrah's lover, Rudjek, is repelled by it.
But despite what it may do to her, Arrah needs magic in order to save the world; for the forces of the Demon King are rising now. Daho, the Demon King, wants her – and he is prepared to tear down orishas, gods, queens and cities to get her.
Arrah's magic has finally arrived. Will it be enough?
In this roaring sequel to Kingdom of Souls, Rena Barron weaves a tale of mythology, love, whip-fast action and trademark twists that asks the question: can you ever leave your past, ancestors, behind?
