About the book
The unmissable finale to New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series THE GILDED ONES, set in an ancient West African-inspired world and perfect for fans of CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE and BLACK PANTHER.
Deka is a goddess-in-waiting with the potential to save her people from the brutal ancient goddesses who terrorize her kingdom of Otera. But first she must find the source of her divine power - and if the Gilded Ones find it before she does, they will drain her power and tear Otera apart.
Alongside her army of friends, Deka faces the hardest battle of her life - not just with the goddesses but with her own doubts. What if becoming a goddess makes her as evil as the Gilded Ones? And is she ready to leave her earthly life and loves behind?
THE ETERNAL ONES is the final thrilling instalment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.

5.0I loved it! This is a fantastic conclusion for a fantastic series. The World Namina Forna has created is so unique among YA Fantasys and this book brought the story to a worthy end. It truly is a story where everything always turns out different than you think and even when twists are sometimes expected in a certain way, they always ended up different than I thought! Namina Forna's writing truly pulls you in and she has created a wonderful world with an intricate and intriguing history to it, which is also filled with so much diversity (and it feels completely natural and not like it was just cramped in there but simply part of the world).
