But these amazing abilities are merely the first glimmers of a remarkable unique magic. By the age of eleven, she can change into a vulture. As a child, Onye’s singing attracts owls. She is Ewu-a child of rape who is expected to live a life of violence, a half-breed rejected by both tribes.īut Onye is not the average Ewu. It doesn’t take long for her to understand that she is physically and socially marked by the circumstances of her violent conception. Gripped by the certainty that her daughter is different-special-she names her child Onyesonwu, which means “Who Fears Death?” in an ancient tongue.įrom a young age, stubborn, willful Onyesonwu is trouble. Instead, she gives birth to an angry baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand.
An Okeke woman who has survived the annihilation of her village and a terrible rape by an enemy general wanders into the desert hoping to die. After years of enslaving the Okeke people, the Nuru tribe has decided to follow the Great Book and exterminate the Okeke tribe for good. In a post-apocalyptic Africa, the world has changed in many ways, yet in one region genocide between tribes still bloodies the land.
