About this ebook
Ikpeama is accused of stealing kola nuts, a crime against the gods of his people. If found guilty, he will suffer public disgrace, and lose his title and its privileges—but Odoro will suffer the greatest loss, if they only knew.
Okwudo returns to Odoro to ask questions and her ogbanje kindred whisk her off to a sacred pot that uncovers Odoro’s generations-long secrets and reveals the coveted treasure guarded by the crows of the yellow stream.
Scents of leopards, cunning of monkeys and bloody family feuds jostle for the soul of a people divided by their humanity in this epic fantasy. Odili Ujubuoñu’s fourth novel, Crows of the Yellow Stream, is a pulsating narrative about a people’s combat with nature, self and other.
“Here is classic knowledge, a novel of astonishing transformations . . .This is indeed an extraordinary novel.”
— Uzor Maxim Uzoatu, Author of God of Poetry
