About this listen
The Nebula Award Finalist.
The World Fantasy Award Finalist.
The British Science Fiction Award Nominee.
A contemporary fantasy filled with the mythos of Nigeria.
Shigidi is the god of nightmares.
Once a feared and powerful member of the Yoruba spirit world, these days he haunts people for scraps of power, which he must give up to the executives of the Orisha Spirit Company.
Nneoma is a deadly succubus.
Fierce, independent and unpredictable, she's not afraid to take dangerous risks to free herself from the mistakes of her past.
Two soulmates. One bid for freedom.
To gain the independence they both desire, the two of them are about to embark on a heist that spans both the real world and the spiritual world. But they'll find far more than they bargained for in the depths of the British Museum . . .
A supernatural adventure novel rich in Nigerian mythology, and an eviscerating examination of cultural theft in the real world. This is perfect for fans of P. Djeli Clark, Nnedi Okorafor and Ben Aaronovitch.©2023 Wole Talabi (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited

This would make an amazing movie
I have given up on talking about people who read Nigerian stories. Saying that, as lovely as his voice is, (sound, texture etc...) I would have loved it even more if the voice actor was familiar with Nigerian phrases and colloquialisms. Not utilising the opportunity to say, "Kabiyesi" took away from it. I did love his take on Nneoma. He sounded like her and that was great! On the story, I loved this so much. It is an exciting read. A story that shows all the wonderful things that can happen when you have the right mentor. A story of the posibilities and capability. I look forward to more from this writer.

Brilliant story!
A very well paced and exciting! A heist drama infused with W. African lore. A brilliant interpretation of the global spirituality franchises. Talabi never disappoints.
