Book Details

After their spectacular showdown against the Red Oloibon, Odwar and his friends are hoping for a bit of a breather. But Odwar has to find his Entasim – the powerful heirloom inherited from his warrior ancestor – and he has to find it now. The Shadow Queen, raging with anger at having been trapped in the shadow world for so long, has a new target in her sights. Can Odwar and his friends stop her from feeding on humanity’s darkest emotions and breaking into the light?

An action-packed story of bravery and determination in which physical strength fails but strength of heart conquers all.

“Nguru’s sequel centers a different student at Nairobi’s Savanna Academy while maintaining the intrigue, action, and magic of the first entry. The Kenyan lore weaves a stunning background for the internal and external battles that unfold within and between Odwar and the Shadow Queen. The last few pages leave readers with a taste of what’s to come in a no-doubt highly anticipated third book. An adventure of strength and compassion.”
