Publisher Description
From a debut Nigerian author: a spectacular young adult fantasy rooted in West African mythology and
brimming with adventure.
All sixteen-year-old Naborhi dreams of is sailing the seas. Instead, she feels suffocated, her life already laid
out: she’ll have her rite of passage and spend her life bound to her house, husband, and children.
Then Naborhi begins having strange dreams and finds a mysterious animal that becomes instantly bonded to
her. When she meets Atai, the son of an Oracle from a rival kingdom, she learns that she is being guided by
the gods. She and Atai journey to find the boy Naborhi is dreaming of, but when that boy turns out to be a
kidnapped prince, Naborhi realizes there is more than just her freedom at stake: she must stop a war that has
already been set in motion.
Woven through with Urhobo and West African folklore and mythology, The Smoke That Thunders is a gripping
young adult fantasy that heralds the arrival of a powerhouse debut author.
