The Book Fairies celebrate the cover reveal of Reni K. Amayo’s Next Novel by hiding Daughters of Nri!

Our UK book fairies revealed the cover for Descendants of the First at the same time as sharing copies of the first in Reni K. Amayo’s fantasy series, Daughters of Nri!

Book fairies up and down the UK had the privilege of hiding copies of Daughters of Nri in public this Saturday, with a postcard inside to reveal the cover of the sequel, Descendants of the First, which is out in March 2021! Were you lucky enough to find a book?

About Daughters of Nri:

A gruesome war results in the old gods’ departure from earth. The only remnants of their existence lie in two girls. Twins, separated at birth. Goddesses who grow up believing that they are human. Daughters Of Nri explores their epic journey of self-discovery as they embark on a path back to one another.

But can they defeat the man who brought the gods themselves to their knees?

About Descendants of the First:

Deep cracks are forming throughout the kingdom of Nri with whispers of deadly successors lurking beneath the shadows. Despite having the same face, it seems the deepest crack is forming between Naala and Sinai, the reunited twin goddesses, who must put their differences aside as they travel through a broken Nri.

With the king dead, the reunited twin goddesses must now face mythical beasts, a volatile resurgence of the lost gods and unseen enemies as they fight to prevent the kingdom from tearing itself apart.

Some lucky book finders!
