Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki recommends

The Lies of the Ajungo (2023)
(Forever Desert, book 1)
Moses Ose Utomi
"The Lies of the Ajungo is a masterfully epic and delightful tale. It is rich with, and spun from West African lore, with puzzles that unfurl before you as you read, thrilling fight scenes, wonderful mysteries, slowly unfolding secrets, and a dazzling revelation at the end of it all."
