In the Shadow of the Fall

A cosmic war reignites and the fate of the orisha lie in the hands of an untried acolyte in this first entry of a new
epic fantasy novella duology by Tobi Ogundiran, for fans of N. K. Jemisin and Suyi Davies Okungbowa.
'The novella of the year has arrived!'—Mark Oshiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Ashâke is an acolyte in the temple of Ifa, yearning for the day she is made a priest and sent out into the world
to serve the orisha. But of all the acolytes, she is the only one the orisha refuse to speak to. For years she has
watched from the sidelines as peer after peer passes her by and ascends to full priesthood.
Desperate, Ashâke attempts to summon and trap an orisha—any orisha. Instead, she experiences a vision so
terrible it draws the attention of a powerful enemy sect and thrusts Ashâke into the center of a centuries-old
war that will shatter the very foundations of her world.
