Adia Kelbara and the Dark Between (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780063266438)

The thrilling finale to the fast-paced, witty, and bighearted debut Afrofantasy trilogy that began with Adia Kelbara and the Circle of Shamans, about a twelve-year-old apprentice in the kitchens at the prestigious Academy of Shamans who must ally with a snarky goddess and a knife-wielding warrior to save her kingdom.

Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and The School for Good and Evil!

Power-hungry god Olark has been banished to the realm of the dead...but Adia Kelbara's troubles are far from over.

When a boy with godlike powers escapes a hidden prison and appears in Zaria, Adia's world begins to unravel...literally. The powers he carries were stolen from Adia's mentor, the Alusi Ginikawa, and now the once-powerful goddess is fading from existence.

In an effort to save Gini, Adia uncovers a secret project turning humans into vessels for divine power and makes a desperate deal with the dark shamanic mastermind behind the experiments--her own Aunt Ife. But when her choice inadvertently sends her best friend, the ancient warrior girl Thyme, back to the past, it causes a series of timeline-altering events that results in Olark being free once more--and stronger than ever.

To set things right, Adia must journey to the mythical land of Imo Mmiri and harness the power of a god. But claiming this power means confronting the same corruption that once destroyed her family--and risking her friends' lives and her own soul to mend a fractured world.
