Exiled by her despotic brother, princess Malini spends her days dreaming of vengeance while imprisoned in the Hirana: an ancient cliffside temple that was once the revered source of the magical deathless waters but is now little more than a decaying ruin. The secrets of the Hirana call to Priya. But in order to keep the truth of her past safely hidden, she works as a servant in the loathed regent’s household, biting her tongue and cleaning Malini’s chambers.

Because whoever catches it will win not only glory, but the war.

Histoire
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Histoire
The nation of Torwyn is run on the power of industry, and industry is run by the Guilds. Chief among them are the Hawkspurs, whose responsibility it is to keep the gears of the empire turning. That’s exactly why matriarch Rosomon Hawkspur sends each of her heirs to the far reaches of the nation. Conall, the eldest son, is sent to the distant frontier to earn his stripes in the military. It is here that he faces a threat he could have never seen coming: the first rumblings of revolution.

Description
From one of the most exciting new storytellers in epic fantasy, Son of the Storm is a sweeping tale of violent conquest and forgotten magic set in a world inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa.
"Everything I love in a fantasy novel. Damn good stuff!" (Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings)
In the ancient. city of Bassa, Danso is a clever scholar on the cusp of achieving greatness - only he doesn’t want it. Instead, he prefers to chase forbidden stories about what lies outside the city walls. The Bassai elite claim there is nothing of interest. The city’s immigrants are sworn to secrecy.
But when Danso stumbles across a warrior wielding magic that shouldn’t exist, he’s put on a collision course with Bassa’s darkest secrets. Drawn into the city’s hidden history, he sets out on a journey beyond its borders. And the chaos left in the wake of his discovery threatens to destroy the empire.
Praise for Son of the Storm:
"With an intricate and irresistible plot, Okungbowa weaves a vibrant tale of betrayal, intrigue, and revolution.” (Anthony Ryan, author of Blood Song)
"A thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new world...and then rips apart everything you think you know." (S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass)
The Nameless Republic
Son of the Storm
Ce que les critiques en disent
"This is everything I love to see in a fantasy story: masterful, fully-realized worldbuilding, morally complex characters, thoughtful and piercing interrogations of power, privilege, and all the facets of human nature. Damn good book!" (Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings)
"A mesmerizing coming of age tale set against a thrilling, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new world...and then rips apart everything you think you know.” (S. A. Chakraborty, author of City of Brass)
"Okungbowa weaves an intricate and irresistible plot around the tensions and contradictions of a corrupt, decadent society which is both dependent upon and resentful of its diverse migrant population. The result is a vibrant tale of betrayal, intrigue, and revolution which benefits greatly from an original setting, a fresh take on magic, and deftly executed characterization." (Anthony Ryan, author of Blood Song)

Finding Out Truths is Never Easy
Great book, great story, great characters, I can't wait for the next book in the series to be available. I have created so many scenarios in my mind for what will happen... Job well done.

Culturally Rich Story
A diverse, imaginative, thrilling read with a complex world, SON OF THE STORM is a strong debut that has powerful messages and challenging themes. It is filled with action, monsters, historical inspiration, and solid writing.
The story follows a variety of characters, the main one being a student named Danso with a mixed heritage and ambitions for adventure. As his ambitions and knowledge begin to lead him into danger, he meets a variety of characters and begins a harrowing experience that shatters everything he knows.
Danso is a good character who is easy to relate to, as all he wants is to belong. Lilong was one of my favourite characters as she is strong and determined to dispel the lies told about her people. Esheme is also complex, power-hungry but also devoted to her people. There are other side characters who have a strong presence and that I hope make an appearance in future books.
That said, for some reason, I struggled to connect with the characters in this book. I'm honestly not sure why. They are not badly written, they each have clear motivations, they each have different personalities, and they each have character arcs. Maybe the book needed an extra dose of humour that I prefer in my fantasy characters, or maybe another personality quirk. Honestly though, it could just be my personal preference because this is not a bad book and I encourage others to read it.
The world building and prose are strong, making for a highly visual read. The action scenes were intense and there were plenty of shocks to be had. Even though it didn't have the humor I love in a fantasy story, this is definitely a book I would suggest to those looking to diversify their shelf.
