Call of the Dragon Series

House of the Dragon meets African mythology in a kingdom where dragon gods rule the earth and sky. Chosen by both gods, one girl must use her powers to usher in a new era—but will it be one of bloodshed or peace? From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.

After saving the Kingdom of Kwa, Moremi thought her problems were behind her. But as Kwa’s new ruler, her greatest challenges are just beginning. The dragon gods have tasked her with uniting the people, while also introducing their daughter, a brand-new god, to the world.

And Moremi can handle it: she has her advisors and her childhood friend, Nox. She has the magic of two dragons in her veins and a third at her side . . . yet all the power in the world can’t protect her from Kwa’s exiled prince. Because when she hears of Jagun’s upcoming wedding to the princess of a neighboring kingdom, even the gods can’t save Moremi from having to attend.

Between Moremi’s history with Jagun and her own confused heart, uniting their kingdoms feels less and less likely. And as tensions rise, Moremi must decide what kind of leader she will be. Because with a new god on her shoulder—together they could remake this new world . . . or raze what’s left of it to the ground.

In the first book of a new series inspired by African mythology, dragon gods rule the earth and sky—until the gods are betrayed, and one girl embarks on a journey to save the world from war and ruin. From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.

The people are calling . . .
And the gods will answer.

Moremi has only ever known peace in the Kingdom of Kwa, thanks to the two dragon gods keeping an unspeakable evil at bay. But when the king tries to claim the gods’ power for himself, it all goes dreadfully wrong. The great dragons are injured and flee . . . and the world’s darkest shadows are released.

Suddenly, Kwa’s ancient tales of monsters become all too real. Yet as death comes for those around her, Moremi somehow finds herself magically connected to both dragon gods—a feat that should be impossible.

Now, Moremi is Kwa’s only hope for restoring the gods to full strength. But will Jagun, the mysterious prince, let her anywhere near the dragons? And how does her childhood friend, Nox, feel about it all? It may not matter in the end, because if Moremi fails her quest, then she risks the earth caving in and the sky crumbling down.
