Description

In the first book of a new series inspired by African mythology, dragon gods rule the earth and sky—until the gods are betrayed, and one girl embarks on a journey to save the world from war and ruin. From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.

The people are calling . . .
And the gods will answer.

Moremi has only ever known peace in the Kingdom of Kwa, thanks to the two dragon gods keeping an unspeakable evil at bay. But when the king tries to claim the gods’ power for himself, it all goes dreadfully wrong. The great dragons are injured and flee . . . and the world’s darkest shadows are released.

Suddenly, Kwa’s ancient tales of monsters become all too real. Yet as death comes for those around her, Moremi somehow finds herself magically connected to both dragon gods—a feat that should be impossible.

Now, Moremi is Kwa’s only hope for restoring the gods to full strength. But will Jagun, the mysterious prince, let her anywhere near the dragons? And how does her childhood friend, Nox, feel about it all? It may not matter in the end, because if Moremi fails her quest, then she risks the earth caving in and the sky crumbling down.

Great Book. But I am based.. it is dragons!!!!

I really liked this book. Sadly it took me forever to get back into the storyline, after having had some forced time off in the middle of ‘Call Of The Dragon’. Bowen’s world building is very fun, and luckily not too elaborate as to bore one out. Her writing style is very pretty once I got along with certain vocabulary, that I will not define, because I only know which continent it stems from not which country (I am sorry for my ignorance. I was not prepared) Mo is an interesting choice MC considering that she seems to be the love child of ‘pick me’ and true heroine. Obviously I have grown to love her and I believe many others will too. Some parts towards the end sadly felt very long while others felt extremely rushed, which confused me in my 10 pm brain. All in all? This book is great! Before I was rudely interrupted by outer circumstances I actually spend a couple nights with the don’t-need-sleep-I-need-just-one-more-chapter-syndrome. So yes to anybody who will now ask me if they should read it!
