Eclipse & the Wolf: A Novel

Enter St. Paradise, a city pulsing with blood magic, where clan secrets and shifting allegiances rule the land. For the first time, bestselling novelist Akwaeke Emezi brings their powerful talents to epic fantasy!Ten years ago, Eclipse Orinabe and her aunt, Silver, were the sole survivors of a massacre that nearly wiped out their family.

Then the Orinabe unleashed their revenge: the annihilation of the clans who betrayed them, and the release of rapture, a drug so potent that the Orinabe—once peaceful pharmaceutical makers—soon have St. Paradise in a chokehold.

Disturbed by the Orinabe’s bloody rise, the surviving clan leaders nonetheless make peace with Silver, known as the Butcher, and accept Eclipse—a weapon disguised as a glamorous debuante. With the foundations of St. Paradise trembling, one spark will set the city aflame and embers are everywhere, watched from the shadows by Clan Heron, spies so secretive that no one knows their true Heir.

Wolf, Heir to the devout Goldshots, is on the run from his own people, armed with holy golden bullets and haunted by his sins. Noah, the volatile Heir to the psychic ?olarin clan, is pushed into a consuming relationship with Eclipse by his clan leaders. But neither Heir is what the other thinks—and the secret Noah is keeping is powerful enough to destroy St. Paradise in an instant.

An ancient magic ties these clans together and a brutal reckoning will come as the Heirs collide and claim their fraught inheritance. Emotionally rich, explosively thrilling, and finely wrought as all of Emezi’s work, their new standalone novel is perfect for fans of the author or Fonda Lee, R.F. Kuang, and V.E. Schwab.
