The Memory of the Ogisi (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781250849045)

The epic conclusion to Moses Ose Utomi's critically acclaimed Forever Desert series, The Memory of the Ogisi shatters every truth, destroys every lie, and is a story of oppression no one shall ever forget.

Even deserts have a beginning. Even gardens have an end. Even water has a story.

One thousand years after Tutu and five hundred years after Osi the City of a Thousand Stories stands resolute on the edge of the Forever Desert. A teeming oasis, water flows into every mouth that thirsts and knowledge sprouts in every mind that hungers for it.

Ethike is an Ogisi, one of the City's many historians, who has devoted his life to studying a little-known figure named Osi. Unfortunately, the city has never approved any of his research papers and if he doesn't find Osi's story soon he will be stripped of his position.

Desperate to keep himself and his family from losing everything, Ethike ventures into the Forever Desert in search of the Lost Tomb of Osi. If he can find it, he will finally be able to prove his worth to the City's elders and, more importantly, cement Osi's role in history. But history is a tale told by those with power. What Ethike uncovers beneath the sand is far beyond anything he could have expected....and it is extremely angry.
