Publisher Description

Set in the universe Africanfuturist luminary Nnedi Okorafor first introduced in the World Fantasy Award-winning Who Fears Death, The Daughter Who Remains is the breathtaking conclusion to the She Who Knows trilogy.

Featuring Najeeba, now older and wiser than readers have ever known her, this is a tale of family, courage, and healing. Najeeba has something terrible to kill. And now she's off to go and kill it.

A fully trained, mature, and sharply focused sorcerer (don't call her sorceress), Najeeba has left the comfort and security of her town with two companions, the glass maker Dedan and the old camel MorningStar. This journey takes her back to where it all began. And despite the fact that her training with the sorcerer Aro forced her to face her deepest fears, she hasn't seen anything close to what she's about to see.

As the Igbo proverb goes, a masquerade does not dance for nothing. The Daughter Who Remains is the final book in the She Who Knows trilogy. This tale isn't about Najeeba learning to master her powerful skills, it's about her having the audacity and courage to use them and use them well…no matter the consequence.
