Sànyà always felt different. And everyone that knew her—the people in the village she grew up in, her beloved brother, Dada, her Aunt Abike, and even her parents before she was born—knew that there was something special about her, too. After an unspeakable tragedy causes her to leave home and grow up too soon, she is devastated to find that her incredible powers are linked to a future which she must fight, even at the cost of her very soul. She begins life anew, hoping that the dark prophesy would somehow rewrite itself. Soon, however, her carefully crafted life and identity becomes the catalyst for a deadly war that will tear her family apart, and doom everything she holds dear.

Oyin Olugbile’s masterful debut tells the story of dangerous love—lost, found, and lost again—all against the backdrop of a fantastical, enthralling empire that holds even the Òrìsà themselves spellbound.

“A brilliant debut from a confident and talented writer. A page-turner.”

—Odafe Atogun, author of Taduno’s Song and The Cabal

“A powerful and magnificent debut. Olugbile introduces two brave siblings in a world rich with heritage and ancestry, whose journeys challenge us to question the meaning of family, community, and love. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Nnedi Okorafor, this exceptional book is impossible to put down. It should be on every bookshelf.”

—Ukamaka Olisakwe, author of Ogadinma

“A fascinating combination of culture, fantasy and mythology in true African style! Sanya is a glimpse of where we've come from, where we're going and the role the gods may play in our lives. A highly readable debut from a new talent to watch.”

—HJ Golakai, author of The score

“Sanya is a thrilling reimagining of an epic tale that will blow the reader out of the water. It is a worthy debut novel from a writer I'm certain we will hear a lot about.”

—Tunde Leye, author, Afonja: The Rise and Fall
