Aprašymas
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 and crossing the Soke moats, Danso and Lilong must travel far north to return home the ibor sought after by newly crowned Bassai Emperor Eshemi. With the new empire's reach now extending over the continent, a bounty on their heads, and news of their cargo now widespread, the journey proves to be even more treacherous. But the promise of reward fuels them both: for Danso, the news of an island of Ajabo survivors in the Nameless archipelago; for Lilong, an opportunity to be the hero her daa dreamed of and help nullify the threats from the mainland once and for all. Together, they journey across the desert's dunes and mountains, forge new alliances and sacrifice everything to survive the new emperor's thirst for blood, power, and revenge. 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 "Set in a deftly crafted world of forbidden sorcery, magical beasts, and fractured polities, Okungbowa has created an original and fully conceived new world of fantasy teeming with brilliant possibilities and demanding to be explored!"―P. Djeli Clark The Nameless Republic
