Àyànmó

A brilliant fantasy debut steeped in Yoruban mythology from Nigerian-born author Ponle Oluwole, featuring a strong female protagonist who comes of age while fighting the old gods.

In Ayé, spirits roam freely, gods rule through riddles, and every word spoken can shape the world.

Set in a world forged by powerful deities known as Orisa, Àyànmó follows Iniola, a teenage girl searching for purpose in a life clouded by sealed memories and hidden truths. To unravel the mystery of her past, Iniola dives into a war against cultists trying to bring about the descent of their deranged deity.

To find her life's purpose, Iniola must challenge the very forces that bind her, and humanity's fate, to a divine design.

Àyànmó draws from the depths of Yoruba mythology to weave a tale of power, purpose, and destiny. Begin the journey with Ìb?`r?`, the first book in the dark, epic trilogy where fate is never what it seems.
