From beloved actor and producer Omar Epps and writer Clarence A. Haynes comes the biggest epic
fantasy of the year. A powerful saga of three teens the children of refugees from a fallen
African utopia who must navigate their newfound powers in a climate-ravaged New York City.
Perfect for fans of Black Panther and Children of Blood and Bone. For Zuberi Uzochi and
Lencho Nubia is a mystery. Before they were born a massive storm destroyed their ancestral
homeland forcing their families to flee across the ocean to New York City. Nubia a utopic
island nation off the coast of West Africa was no more and their parents’ sorrow was too deep
for them to share much of their history beyond the folklore. But New York ravaged by climate
change and class division is far from a safe haven for refugees and Nubians live as outcasts
struggling to survive in the constantly flooding lower half of Manhattan while the rich thrive
in the tech-driven sky city known as the Up High. To many being Nubian means you’re fated for
a life plagued by difficulties and disrespect. But Zuberi Uzochi and Lencho are beginning to
feel there might be more. Something within them is changing giving each of them extraordinary
powers. Extraordinary and terrifying powers that seem to be tied to the secrets their parents
have kept from them. And there are people Up High watching eager to do anything they can to
become even more powerful than they already are. Now Zuberi Uzochi and Lencho will be faced
with the choice—do they use their inheritance to lift their people or to leave them behind.
The fate of their city and their people hangs in the balance.
