Moon Witch, Spider King: Dark Star Trilogy 2, by Marlon James

The second book in the Dark Star Trilogy, after  Black Leopard Red Wolf  - a spectacular, genre-redefining literary fantasy novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of  A Brief History of Seven Killings

 

In this stunning follow-up to Black Leopard, Red Wolf, Marlon James draws on a rich tradition of African mythology, fantasy and history to imagine an ancient world, a lost child, an extraordinary hunter, and a mystery with many answers...

 

Marlon James weaves a tapestry of breathtaking adventure through a world at once ancient and startlingly modern. And, against this exhilarating backdrop of magic and violence, he explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, the excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.
