Rion Amilcar Scott recommends

The Road to the Salt Sea (2024)
Samuel Kọláwọlé
"In The Road to the Salt Sea, Samuel Kolawole hasn't so much as written a book as he takes the reader on a journey - a perilous and eye-opening odyssey. And like any great journey, you are not the same when you reach the end. Powerful, powerful work."

The Ballad of Perilous Graves (2022)
Alex Jennings
"An unforgettable story."

Half-Blown Rose (2022)
Leesa Cross-Smith
"Leesa Cross-Smith is some sort of sorceress."
