The world has forgotten Onyesonwu.

As a teenager, Najeeba learned to become a beast made of wind, fire and dust: the Kponyungo. When this demanded too much of her, including the life of her father, she let go of everything and was happy for a while – until just a few years later, the small, normal life she had built was violently destroyed.

Najeeba is now in her forties and her second husband died many years ago. She has just lost her beloved daughter. Onyesonwu saved the world. Najeeba knows this very well, but the world does not. This is how the spell her daughter conjured works. Another person who remembers this is Onyesonwu’s teacher Aro, a tough and stubborn wizard. Najeeba has decided to ask him to teach her the Mystic Points, the powerful heart of sorcery. There is something terrible that Najeeba must kill and the Mystic Points are the only way. Najeeba is truly her daughter’s mother.

When Aro accepts his help, Najeeba is finally ready to shape her future. But first she must face her past – because certain memories cannot rest in anonymous graves.
