Wole Talabi recommends

A Song of Legends Lost (2025)
(Invoker Trilogy, book 1)
M H Ayinde
"An epic tale of ancestral summoning, complicated families and forbidden magic in the Nine Lands, rich with hidden histories, kinetic battles and immersive, Africa-inspired worldbuilding. It's Game of Thrones meets Jagun Jagun by way of Final Fantasy with a healthy dose of something new and unique that is entirely Ayinde's own!"

Jackal, Jackal (2023)
Tobi Ogundiran
"Jackal, Jackal is a great showcase of Ogundiran's consistency and strengths of a storyteller and dark fabulist. Forget logic. These are stories you are meant to feel. Think Grimm by way of Amos Tutuola. Stephen King meets Cyprian Ekwensi."
