About this listen

Critically acclaimed author Kai Ashante Wilson makes his commercial debut with this striking, wondrous tale of gods and mortals, magic and steel, and life and death that will reshape how you look at sword and sorcery.

Since leaving his homeland, the earthbound demigod Demane has been labeled a sorcerer. With his ancestors' artifacts in hand, the sorcerer follows the captain, a beautiful man with song for a voice and hair that drinks the sunlight.

The two of them are the descendants of the gods who abandoned the Earth for Heaven, and they will need all the gifts those divine ancestors left to them to keep their caravan brothers alive.

The one safe road between the northern oasis and southern kingdom is stalked by a necromantic terror. Demane may have to master his wild powers and trade humanity for godhood if he is to keep his brothers and his beloved captain alive.

A queer black tale of sword and sorcery

Nearly every sentence in this beautifully written novella pulls double duty as poetry and prose: it deserves to be read closely in print, but letting these gorgeous words wash over your ears is a pleasure, and the narration does the writing great justice.

Superficially, this a sword and sorcery tale influenced by the mid-century greats, and it capably handles the violence and worldbuilding like its forebears, but if you go in hoping for Conan, you might be disappointed. There is a sense of vulnerable humanity that the author brings to his writing that makes even the ugliest moments feel hopeful.

I am so grateful to have this black centric, queer centric tale: I hope more of Kai Ashante Wilson's works end up in audio format.

Highly recommended!
