' I am truly dazzled' TRACY CHEVALIER' Bursting with magic, bright and visceral' JENNIFER SAINT' A feast of shimmering, beautiful prose' CHIKA UNIGWESoon you will become the thing all other beasts fear. Treasure and her mother lost everything when Treasure' s daddy died. Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a spirit who promises to bring her father back - but she has to do something for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back that can' t be scratched. An itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, to defend her people by becoming a leopard. Her father impressed upon her what an honour this was before he vanished, but it' s one she couldn' t want less. But as the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their fathers' decisions, Ozoemena' s fellow students at her new boarding school start to vanish. Treasure and Ozoemena will face terrible choices as each must ask herself: in a world that always says ' no' to women, what must two young girls sacrifice to get what is theirs? ' Unexpected, explosive and deeply satisfying' MELISSA FU' A masterful storm' DOREEN CUNNINGHAM' Uncanny and affecting in equal measure' T. L. HUCHU' One hell of a book' MEG CLOTHIER
