Wings of the Night (English Edition)

Wings of the Night (English Edition)

A fate so dim. A will so strong. A storm so grim. An end so long.

Fatherless from the cradle, bereaved of wife and son in his prime, Nduka seems to have a magnetic implant, which pulls disasters to him as carrion attracts scavengers. Is he atoning for the sins of his ancestors or his sins? Is this the evil hand of an envious uncle at work? Or is he merely star-crossed?

22 years in the making, and set in both 15th century and 21st century Igboland, Wings of the Night is picturesque, compact, suspense-filled, literary fiction in which the past is inextricably woven into the present and breath-taking incidents gallop after each other from the first page to the last.

Abandoned by his gods, forsaken by his ancestors, and betrayed by man, Nduka recoils from society, choosing his sheep as his new family. Wherever the winds lead, he follows like a lunatic.
