As Imaro becomes a man his skills and strength are like none other the Ilyssai have seen before but his quest for acceptance and identity continues.Īfter leaving his mother’s people, he roams farther than any Ilyssai has ever gone before, fighting unknown beasts, men and demons. Although one of the strongest and most adept youths, he is ostracized due to his heritage as the son of a foreigner and a banished mother. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, Imaro struggles growing up among the Ilyassai, a fierce tribe of warrior-herdsmen. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian? Sign me up. An epic tale of magic and adventure set in a reimagined pre-colonial Africa that was one of the first sword and sorcery novels written by a Black author and has been compared to Robert E. So when I stumbled across Imaro I figured it must be fate. Not very interesting by my standards, give me intergenerational war and conspiracies in my fantasy fiction please. I’m not the biggest fan of sword and sorcery style fantasy, probably because older heroic fantasy just tends to be some guy running around with a big sword and killing people.
