Seventeen-year-old Ekon has spent his whole life training to become one of the Sons of the Six, a band of elite warriors. Sixteen-year-old Koffi is an indentured servant at the Night Zoo, working off her deceased father’s debts by helping care for dangerous creatures. But when a magical earthquake, known simply as “The Rupture” occurs, these mages are driven underground, ostracized and shunned by a society that blames them for the destruction. In the fictional jungle city of Lkossa, magic once flourished, primarily wielded by users known as darajas. A pan-African tale of magic, corruption, adventure, and strange creatures drenched in atmosphere and mythology, it’s a tale that’s easy to get lost in.
