Destined for peace.

Niger, West Africa, 2070: After fifteen-year old Ejii witnesses her fathers beheading, her world shatters.

In an era of mind-blowing technology and seductive magic, Ejii embarks on a mystical journey to track down her fathers killer.

With a newfound friend by her side, Ejii comes face to face with an earth turned inside out--and with her own magical powers.

But Ejii soon discovers that her travels across the sands of the Sahara have a greater purpose.

Her people need to be protected from a force seeking to annihilate them.

And Ejii may be just the hero to do it.

Now in an updated edition with a new introduction from the author herself, The Shadow Speaker contains the powerful prose and compelling stories that have made Nnedi Okorafor a star of the literary science fiction and fantasy space and put her at the forefront of Africanfuturist fiction.
