Shigidi and the brass head of Obalufon

£10.99

Shigidi is a disgruntled nightmare god in the Orisha spirit company, reluctantly answering the prayers of his few remaining believers to survive long enough to buy his next drink. When he meets Nneoma, a sort-of succubus with a long and secretive past, everything changes. Together, they attempt to break free of the obligations and restrictions that have bound him to his godhood, and navigate the parameters of their new relationship in the shadow of her past. But the elder gods have other plans for Shigidi, and they are not all aligned – or good. From the boisterous streets of Lagos to the rooftop bars of Singapore and the hidden secrets of London, Shigidi and Nneoma will encounter strange creatures, rival gods and manipulative magicians as they are drawn into a spectacular heist that spans two realms – and could turn their own worlds upside down.

Description

The Nommo Award Winner.

The World Fantasy Award Finalist.
The British Science Fiction Award Nominee.

A contemporary fantasy filled with the mythos of Nigeria.

Shigidi is the god of nightmares.
Once a feared and powerful member of the Yoruba spirit world, these days he haunts people for scraps of power, which he must give up to the executives of the Orisha Spirit Company.

Nneoma is a deadly succubus.
Fierce, independent and unpredictable, she’s not afraid to take dangerous risks to free herself from the mistakes of her past.

Two soulmates. One bid for freedom.
To gain the independence they both desire, the two of them are about to embark on a heist that spans both the real world and the spiritual world. But they’ll find far more than they bargained for in the depths of the British Museum . . .

A supernatural adventure novel rich in Nigerian mythology, and an eviscerating examination of cultural theft in the real world. This is perfect for fans of P. Djeli Clark, Nnedi Okorafor and Ben Aaronovitch.
