Fresh and utterly transportive, Raybearer is a fantastical fight for freedom, family and justice at all costs -- Heidi Heilig A fresh, phenomenal fantasy that begs readers to revel in its brilliant world * Kirkus starred review * The prose is effortless and poetic from the very first sentence.

Jordan Ifueko, the daughter of Nigerian immigrant parents, born in Southern California, began imagining the incredible fantasy world with its 13 culturally distinct realms when she was just 13 years old herself. Another 13 years later in 2020, her first book Raybearer was published. The heroine of this unique world is 16 year old Tarisai who can jump into other people's minds and search out their past. With unspeakeable curses, spellbinding magic and mystical creatures infused with West African inspired folklare, this remarkable other world pays significant tribute to our own world and ancient cultures. * New African Magazine *
