Crows of the Yellow Stream

More about the book

Ikpeama is accused of stealing kola nuts, a crime against the gods of his people. If found guilty, he will suffer public disgrace, and lose his title and its privileges-but Odoro will suffer the greatest loss, if they only knew. Okudo returns to Odoro to ask questions and her ogbanje kindred whisk her off to a sacred pot that uncovers Odoro's generations-long secrets and reveals the coveted treasure guarded by the crows of the yellow stream. Scents of leopards, cunning of monkeys and bloody family feuds jostle for the soul of a people divided by their humanity in this epic fantasy. Odili Ujubuonu's fourth novel, Crows of the Yellow Stream, is a pulsating narrative about a people's combat with nature, self and other.
