From Marlon James, author of the bestselling National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf, the second book in the Dark Star trilogy.
In Black Leopard, Red Wolf, Sogolon the Moon Witch proved a worthy adversary to Tracker as they clashed across a mythical African landscape in search of a mysterious boy who disappeared. In Moon Witch, Spider King, Sogolon takes center stage and gives her own account of what happened to the boy, and how she plotted and fought, triumphed and failed as she looked for him. Itās also the story of a century-long feudāseen through the eyes of a 177-year-old witchāthat Sogolon had with the Aesi, chancellor to the king. It is said that Aesi works so closely with the king that together they are like the eight limbs of one spider. Aesiās power is considerableāand deadly. It takes brains and courage to challenge him, which Sogolon does for reasons of her own.
Both a brilliant narrative deviceāseeing the story told in Black Leopard, Red Wolf from the perspective of an adversary and a womanāas well as a fascinating battle between different versions of empire, Moon Witch, Spider King delves into Sogolonās world as she fights to tell her own story. Part adventure tale, part chronicle of an indomitable woman who bows to no man, it is a fascinating novel that explores power, personality, and the places where they overlap.
