Return to a world of violent conquest, buried histories and
forbidden magic in Suyi Davies Okungbowa's superb Nameless Republic
epic fantasy series From city streets where secrets are bartered
for gold to forests teeming with fabled beasts, Suyi Davies
Okungbowa's sweeping epic of forgotten magic and violent conquests
continues in this richly drawn fantasy inspired by the pre-colonial
empires of West Africa. After escaping Bassa, Danso and Lilong live
in the vagabond colony of Chabo, under the looming threat of the
new emperor's bounty. Lilong's dreams of returning home with the
Diwi seem all but dashed, until opportunity knocks in the form of
an offer from the Gaddo Company: resources for a journey east. In
exchange? Lilong must break into a prison. Events from the heist
soon force Lilong and Danso to leave hiding and travel the Lonely
Roads East to the seven islands, accompanied by new allies. But Red
Emperor Esheme, fresh from acquiring new powers and territories,
has other plans. Her relentless pursuit haunts the treacherous
journey through the Savanna Belt. But surviving each other is the
least of their problems. A new power arrives from the Sahel.
Something ancient and uncontrollable awakens in the seven islands.
Trouble heads for Bassa, and the continent of Oon will need more
than ibor to fix what's coming. Praise for The Nameless Republic:
'A thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new
world . . . and then rips apart everything you think you know' S.
A. Chakraborty 'An original and fascinating epic fantasy full of
bold characters, bloody action, and brutal politics' James
Islington 'A contender for best new fantasy series of the year' SFX
'Everything I love to see in a fantasy story: masterful,
fully-realised worldbuilding, morally complex characters,
thoughtful and piercing interrogations of power . . . Damn good
stuff!' Jenn Lyons 'An elaborately plotted tale of ancient magics
and world-shattering politics. I, like many others, will be
impatiently waiting for the next instalment!' Andrea Stewart 'An
original and fully conceived new world of fantasy teeming with
brilliant possibilities' P. Djèlí Clark 'An epic fantasy set
apart by how deftly Okungbowa unfurls his intricate, richly
imagined world' A. K. Larkwood 'Forgotten magic propels a richly
drawn story of ambition, conspiracy and the elusiveness of
belonging' Fonda Lee
