by Nnedi Okorafor

Set a year after the events of the first book, it follows Sunny Nwazue, an American-born Nigerian albino girl living in Aba who becomes a member of the secret Leopard society.

Sunny Nwazue has recurring vision of a burning city and while picking up tainted pepper, she is given a comb by Mami Wata.

She disobeys the Leopard rules, and with assistance of Chichi, uses a juju to scare the members of the cult that haunts Chukwu in the university and is sent to the Obi Library basement to face a djinn whom she defeats and reunites with her friends and parents. Then, her father threatens to disown her.

Her spirit face Anyanwu is separated from her after an attack from Ekwensu, who emerges again. Sunny and her friends Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha visit Bola, where she tells Sunny to go to Lagos to meet Udide, who will weave a flying grasscutter to take them to Osisi.

Through the help of Chukwu, they head to Lagos under the disguise of a road trip and meet Udide who weaves a flying grasscutter in exchange for Sunny's story.

After a series of events, Chukwu sees the grasscutter and they escape before the council car comes to pick them. In Osisi, they defeat Ekwensu to avert an apocalypse and return home to face the council officials, who forgives them. The novel ends with Sunny, Chichi, and Shasha attending the Zuma Rock Festival.
