In Gatebound, the Illborn convergence draws a step closer, and the Great Power beyond the Gate beckons even more strongly, as their true character begins to take form.

The Lies of the Ajungo has one of my favorite themes in the fantasy genre- the loss of history and how this loss shapes our understanding of not just our lives but the world.

The Truth of the Aleke is a truly magnificent read! I really didn’t think Utomi would top The Lies of the Ajungo, but I ended up thoroughly impressed!

In Sons of Darkness, fell forces align while humans squabble, bicker and plot. Who will triumph? Who stands in the light, and who is the villain?

Though the story leaves some elements underdeveloped, the story’s unique blend of folklore and fantasy makes Six Crimson Cranes a standout read.

Ghostroots is an exciting addition to the growing list of contemporary and speculative fiction in African literature.
