The long-awaited sequel to the genre-breaking Akata Witch-which has been called “the Nigerian Harry Potter”-by multiple award-winner Nnedi Okorafor
People in her Nigerian town call Sunny Nwazue “akata witch”—“akata” because she was raised in the United States, “witch” for the albinism that makes her skin and hair ghost-pale. They aren’t being kind or funny. They are cursing her. The irony is that Sunny actually is a witch, a “free agent” drawing from many magical traditions, and she’s coming into her own. In Akata Witch, Sunny discovered her powers, and became part of the elite magical Leopard community that exists in plain sight. Now, in Akata Warrior, she learns that she has been chosen to lead a dangerous mission to avert an apocalypse brought about by the terrifying masquerade, Ekwensu. Mythology, fantasy, science fiction, history, and magic blend into a compelling tale that will hold readers spellbound.
