An unforgettable tale of revenge and rebellion unfolds when an inexperienced king implements a doomed plan to end a thousand-year war in this relentlessly gripping epic fantasy debut from a ‘master storyteller’ (Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter).
‘The exhilarating must-read fantasy debut of 2025.’ —Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne
A SONG OF REBELLION. A SONG OF WAR. A SONG OF LEGENDS LOST.
In the Nine Lands, only those of noble blood can summon the spirits of their ancestors to fight in battle. But when Temi, a commoner from the slums, accidentally invokes a powerful spirit, she finds it could hold the key to ending a centuries-long war.
But not everything that can be invoked is an ancestor. And some of the spirits that can be drawn from the ancestral realm are more dangerous than anyone can imagine.
Drawing on multiple pre-colonial cultures, including Yoruba and Filipino, and set in a non-Western-inspired world, A Song of Legends Lost is not just a tale of vengeance but a stunning debut novel of identity and heritage.
‘A whirlwind debut of ferocious talent and compulsive storytelling that lifts you up from the first page and never lets go.’ —Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award–winning author
