Eclipse & the Wolf by Akwaeke Emezi

The Survivors of St. Paradise Want Blood

Eclipse & the Wolf begins in the aftermath of a massacre in the city of St. Paradise. Eclipse and her aunt Silver survived, and the two women of the Orinabe clan are determined to take revenge on the people responsible.

Blood Magic Carries a Clan’s Grief

Their pursuit unfolds through an epic-fantasy world shaped by blood magic and competing clans. Revenge is not an abstract oath here; it grows from communal loss, family allegiance, and a magical system that makes blood both power and memory.

Eclipse and Silver enter the story aligned by grief, but survival does not guarantee that they want the same future. The deeper they move into the politics surrounding the massacre, the harder it may become to separate justice for their clan from the cost of continuing its violence.

Other Clans Complicate the Hunt

Encounters with members of rival groups and the secrets that surface around them disrupt what first appears to be a direct path toward vengeance. Every new alliance can expose another version of the massacre, changing who deserves trust and what retaliation would actually accomplish.

Harper Voyager publishes Eclipse & the Wolf on February 16, 2027. Akwaeke Emezi’s epic fantasy promises a revenge story where the surviving family is only the beginning and hidden loyalties are as dangerous as the magic.
