In a scarred, post-apocalyptic Africa, one girl is born to defy death—and the fate forced upon her.
Onyesonwu’s name means “Who fears death?” And from the moment of her birth, she’s been a challenge to everything the world expects: a child of violence, marked as Ewu—cursed, dangerous, unwanted. But Onye is something more. Something magical.
As her power grows, so do the forces set against her. Hunted by a powerful sorcerer and haunted by visions, she sets out across a brutal landscape to uncover her past and reclaim her future.
Winner of the World Fantasy Award and now optioned for HBO by executive producer George R. R. Martin, Who Fears Death is a searing, genre-defying tale of prophecy, resistance, and a woman who dares to rewrite destiny.
