Synopsis

The sequel to Nubia: The Awakening, the epic fantasy from actor and producer Omar Epps and writer Clarence A. Haynes! A powerful saga of three teens, the children of refugees from a fallen African utopia, who must navigate their newfound powers in a climate-ravaged New York City.

Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho were among the first of a new generation of Nubians to awaken to extraordinary powers—gifts their parents lost when they fled their island home decades ago. And now that Uzochi has been declared a Nubian catalyst, everyone expects him to lead.

But what should be a time of rebirth and celebration is instead one of turmoil. The so-called sky king, Krazen St. John, is bent on harnessing Nubian gifts for himself, and he has assembled a special, superhuman militia to do his bidding, putting a ruthless Lencho in charge.

Facing down his cousin feels insurmountable for Uzochi, even with Zuberi at his side, but now there’s more at stake than the hostile government of Tri-State East. Uzochi’s training has led him to discover an ancient, forgotten force hungry for conquest—and it won’t stop until all of Tri-State East . . . and possibly the world . . . is under its control.

Goodreads review by Eileen on September 29, 2023

I was surprised by how much I liked the first one, so I was thrilled to get a copy of this ARC. I listened to the first one, but read this one on my own, and I think both worked for me!

Goodreads review by Beth on September 05, 2023

I received an advance copy via NetGalley. Also, this book's co-author, Clarence A. Haynes, was my developmental editor on two books, so I approach this read with considerable positive bias. Nubia: The Reckoning continues soon after the first entry of this duology, breathing life into an intriguing fu......more

The first book in this series, I was a bit of a sleeper hit for me. I had very low expectations and went in with interest just because I really liked the cover.

Goodreads review by Teri on November 09, 2023

Nubia: The Reckoning is another of my most anticipated reads this year after finishing the first book in the series a year ago. Trust me, it was a nail-biter, and I couldn’t wait to see where these characters went next. As in the first book, a city history/recap is given which helps to refresh the re......more
