IN DARKNESS, A SONG CAN LEAD THE WAY. BEWARE WHICH ONE YOU LISTEN TO.

Abeni's Song
by award-winning author P. Djèlí Clark is the enchanting beginning of an epic West African and African Diaspora-inspired fantasy adventure for middle-grade listeners about a reluctant apprentice to magic and the stolen villagers she sets out to save.

"Lush and magical." —KWAME MBALIA

  • "Astonishing." —MARK OSHIRO
  • "Abeni's story will sweep you away." —AMANDA FOODY
    On the day of the Harvest Festival, the old woman who lives in the forest appears in Abeni's village with a terrible message:
    You ignored my warnings. It's too late to run. They are coming.
    Warriors with burning blades storm the village. A man with a cursed flute plays an impossibly alluring song. And everyone Abeni has ever known and loved is captured and marched toward far-off ghost ships set for even more distant lands.
    But not Abeni.
    Abeni is magically whisked away by the old woman. In the forest, Abeni begins her unwanted magical apprenticeship, her journey to escape the witch, and her impossible mission to bring her people home.
    Abeni's Song is the beginning of a timeless, enchanting fantasy adventure about a reluctant apprentice, a team of spirit kids, and the village they set out to save.
    A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.
