It is 1690 and Anyanwu is a West African woman with special abilities that she uses to protect her tribe. Her life is upended when Doro, a spirit-being with even greater power, seeks her out and insists on adding her to his ‘seed community’. Anyanwu is forced to engage all her wits and courage for a chance to free herself from Doro’s control.
A provocative story about freedom, community and the uses of power.

What a marvelous post and youtube video. Thanks for the review.
I also read this book and was very intrigued by Anyanwu and Doro’s dynamic. Among other things it felt like reading the perfect depiction of a Narcissistic relationship. Anyanwu was definitely the perfect supply to fuel Doro’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She was the ultimate empath.
It’s kinda fascinating how Anyanwu’s power is healing and Doro’s power is destructive.
It was a difficult read, but very satisfying to finish. 😊
