"...Unforgettable in its darkness, inequality, and magic." â€”VOYA, Starred Review

"...A paean to an emerging black legend."â€”Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewÂ

Debut author Tochi Onyebuchi delivers an unforgettable fantasy adventure that powerfully explores the true meaning of justice and guilt.Â Packed with dark magic and thrilling action, Beasts Made of Night is a gritty Nigerian-influenced fantasy perfect for fans of Paolo Bacigalupi and Nnedi Okorafor. In the walled city of Kos, corrupt mages can magically call forth sin from a sinner in the form of sin-beastsâ€”lethal creatures spawned from feelings of guilt.

Taj is the most talented of the aki, young sin-eaters indentured by the mages to slay the sin-beasts. But Tajâ€™s livelihood comes at a terrible cost. When he kills a sin-beast, a tattoo of the beast appears on his skin while the guilt of committing the sin appears on his mind. Most aki are driven mad by the process, but 17-year-old Taj is cocky and desperate to provide for his family.

When Taj is called to eat a sin of a member of the royal family, heâ€™s suddenly thrust into the center of a dark conspiracy to destroy Kos. Now Taj must fight to save the princess that he lovesâ€”and his own life.
