Books: Season of the Serpent, Book 3 in the Nameless Republic Trilogy

Award-winning Suyi Davies Okungbowa’s The Nameless Republic is a thrilling epic fantasy trilogy, a sweeping tale of violent conquest and forbidden magic set in a world inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa.

The Nameless Republic trilogy follows three characters whose singular and collective choices change and reshape the fortunes and futures of the unicontinent of Oon: Danso, a scholar turned fugitive; Lilong, a warrior turned rebel; and Esheme, a fixer turned emperor.

In Son of the Storm, the ancient city-empire of Bassa unravels upon the discovery of its darkest secret: supernatural powers that shouldn’t exist. In Warrior of the Wind, the chaos left in this discovery’s wake threatens to destroy the empire, and places our heroes on a collision course with history, the future, and themselves. In Season of the Serpent, all of Oon is on the brink of war, and the journey to a solution will be long, filled with twists, treachery, unexpected allies and fabled enemies.

From city streets where secrets are bartered for gold to forests teeming with fabled beasts, Suyi Davies Okungbowa offers a sweeping epic of forgotten magic and violent conquests in this richly drawn fantasy, perfect for fans of Fonda Lee, Rebecca Roanhorse and S. A. Chakraborty.
