Redemptor / Jordan Ifueko - London Hot Key Books 2021 - 441p.
The hotly anticipated epic and phenomenal West-African inspired the New York Times YA fantasy Ray bearer. For the first time, an Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To appease the demonic spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future atrocities. Tarisai is determined to survive. Or at least, that's what she tells her increasingly distant circle of friends. Months into her shaky reign as empress, child spirits haunt her, demanding that she pay for past sins of the empire. With the lives of her loved ones on the line, assassination attempts from unknown quarters, and a handsome new stranger she can't entirely trust, Tarisai fears the pressure may consume her. In this finale to the RAYBEARER duology, Tarisai must learn whether to die for justice . . . or to live for it.
