Nevin Holness

Recenzje

An immersive, adventurous debut.

Holness has created a fantasy London that feels incredibly real. Richly peppered with Caribbean folklore, creatures from African diasporic mythology, death and life magic, wrapped up in a high stakes plot that impacts friendships, found family, and preservation of culture.

Author of the Walter Award Honoree Root Magic Eden Royce
