The unthinkable happens and her glorious midnight skin becomes infected with a mysterious disease. Where her skin should glisten like diamonds mixed with coal, instead it scabs and scars.

While searching for a cure, she stumbles upon something much more valuable. A new power awakens inside her, and she realizes her whole life, and the galaxy with it, is about to change File Under: Science Fiction [ True Colors | Embrace the Change | What Will Be | Dancing in the Rain ]

Starting this one for #Booked23: A book about Afrofuturism on this welcomed rainy Michigan day. Described as “A technicolor Afrofuturist fever-dream of a book,” not only is the cover gorgeous, but there‘s a map, and this first line is fire: “She had the witchery of fire in her eyes and her skin twinkled…”. I hope it lives up to its promising start.
