Unpacking power and patriarchy as it shines a light on female struggles, selfhood, solidarity and sisterhood, The Eternal Ones is a fittingly epic finale to Namina Forna’s glorious Gilded Ones series.
If you’re new to the series, it’s set in a richly-imagined world inspired by ancient West Africa. A fantasy world in which Deka is a goddess-in-waiting, seeking the source of her powers to defend the people of her kingdom. Facing a race against time, along with internal doubts and external battles, the final act of Deka’s dilemma-rife journey is 100% exhilarating, and unexpected.
While sitting firmly in fantasy territory, and absorbing territory at that, The Eternal Ones has an overarching feeling of timelessness, while also feeling very relevant, showing as it does that girls can — most definitely — be heroes of their own stories.
The unmissable finale to New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series The Gilded Ones, set in an ancient West African-inspired world and perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.

The unmissable finale to New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series The Gilded Ones , set in an ancient West African-inspired world and perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther .
Deka is a goddess-in-waiting with the potential to save her people from the brutal ancient goddesses who terrorize her kingdom of Otera. But first she must find the source of her divine power - and if the Gilded Ones find it before she does, they will drain her power and tear Otera apart. Alongside her army of friends, Deka faces the hardest battle of her life - not just with the goddesses but with her own doubts.
What if becoming a goddess makes her as evil as the Gilded Ones? And is she ready to leave her earthly life and loves behind?
The Eternal Ones is the final thrilling instalment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.
