THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE REVOLUTIONARY DARK STAR TRILOGY

'Even more gripping and inventive than its predecessor . . . like Tolkien on ayahuasca' Observer

*Perfect for fans of Pratchett, George R. R. Martin and Octavia Butler*

In this mighty follow-up to his number one bestseller Black Leopard, Red Wolf, Booker-winner Marlon James once again draws on a rich tradition of African mythology, fantasy and history to tell the story of Sogolon the Moon Witch.

Part adventure story, part tale of an indomitable woman, Moon Witch, Spider King chronicles the antagonist-turned-antihero's journey from an ostracised no-name girl, hated by her brothers and made to live in a termite hill, to a woman with fully developed powers engaged in a long-standing feud with the Aesi, chancellor to the king.

Offering Sogolon's version of the events of Black Leopard, Red Wolf, Moon Witch, Spider King is an unforgettable exploration of power, resistance and revenge set in a world at once ancient and startlingly modern.

'James masterfully flips the first instalment on its head . . . [A] titanic story of empire, adventure and power' Esquire

*****

Tracker is a hunter. Known throughout the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose, he always works alone. But he breaks his own rule when, hired to find a lost child, he finds himself part of a group of hunters, each stranger and more dangerous than the last.

As the mismatched gang follow the boy's scent from perfumed citadels to enchanted darklands, Tracker starts to wonder:

Who really is this mysterious boy?
Why do so many people want to stop him from being found?
And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Marlon James weaves a breathtaking tapestry - at once ancient and startlingly modern - exploring the fundamentals of truth, limits of power, excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.

Chronicling the same events but telling a very different story - who will you believe? Read THE DARK STAR TRILOGY in any order! Book two, MOON WITCH, SPIDER KING, is available now.

She's his greatest rival . . . and his greatest weakness.

Handsome, talented, and beloved by (almost) everyone, Sebastian Laurent is used to being on top. The heir to a culinary empire, his sharp instincts and effortless charm have made him a legend.

What people don't see are the demons lurking beneath his golden-boy façade. There's only one person who's come close to knowing the real him - Maya Singh, his childhood rival and secret obsession.

She's also the only one who's ever successfully challenged him. He can't stand her, but if that's true . . . why can't he stop thinking about her?

***

Smart, witty, and competitive to a fault, top marketing executive Maya Singh is used to winning - unless her opponent is Sebastian. It's something that's infuriated and motivated her her entire life.

So when a series of unfortunate events forces her to work with her sworn enemy, she's determined to one-up him and show the world who's the best once and for all.

What she didn't count on? Not hating their time together. To her horror, she might even . . . like it.
