Tornado Onwubiko is one of seven people on Earth paired with sentient ships to explore and research the cosmos for twenty million euros. A decade of solitary life for a lifetime of wealth. Five years into the ten-year mission of total isolation comes a consolation: a temporary meetup among fellow travelers. A lot can happen in a week. For Tornado, who left a normal life behind, a little company can be life-changing.

Sunny Nwazue es parte de la sociedad leopardo, personas con habilidades mágicas que pueden tratar con seres invisibles a ojos de los demás (los borregos), tales como mascaradas y saltamontes fantasma.

Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister's lavish Caribbean wedding, she's unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have peppered her unremarkable career.

Desde el momento en que Sunny Nwazue descubrió que tenía unas singulares habilidades mágicas, se esforzó por comprender sus poderes mientras trataba de equilibrar sus diferentes facetas: su vida pasada en Estados Unidos y la nueva en Nigeria, el mundo normal y el espiritual, su papel de buena hija y el de persona leopardo. Ahora, todas esas duras lecciones se ponen a prueba en una misión tan peligrosa y fantástica que embarcarse en ella sería una locura..., como también lo sería dejar pasar la oportunidad.
