Overview
A brilliant new voice brings us a brilliant new epic fantasy novel: Ehigbor Okosunās first book in an action-packed, poignant duology inspired by Nigerian mythologyāfull of magic and emotion and set in a highly atmospheric, complex world in which a young woman fights to survive a tyrannical society, having everything stripped away from her, and seeks vengeance for her motherās murder and the spilled blood of her people.
In the midst of a tyrannical regime and political invasion, DĆØmi just wants to survive: to avoid the suspicion of the nonmagical Ajes who occupy her ancestral homeland of Ife; to escape the Kingās brutal genocide of her peopleāthe darker skinned, magic wielding Oluso; and to live peacefully with her secretive mother while learning to control the terrifying blood magic that is her birthright.
But when DĆØmiās misplaced trust costs her motherās life, survival gives way to vengeance. She bides her time until the devious Lord Ekwensi grants her the perfect opportunityākidnap the Aje prince, Jonas, and bargain with his life to save the remaining Oluso. With the help of her reckless childhood friend Colin, DĆØmi succeeds, but discovers that she and Jonas share more than deadly secrets; every moment tangles them further into a forbidden, unmistakable attraction, much to Colināsāand DĆØmiāsādistress.
The kidnapping is now a joint mission: to return to the King, help get Lord Ekwensi on the council, and bolster the voice of the Oluso in a system designed to silence them. But the way is dangerous, DĆØmiās magic is growing yet uncertain, and itās not clear if she can trust the two men at her side.
A tale of rebellion and redemption, race and class, love and trust and betrayal,Ā Forged by BloodĀ is epic fantasy at its finest, from an enthusiastic, emerging voice.
