In \u003ci\u003eMoon Witch, Spider King\u003c\/i\u003e, Sogolon takes center stage and gives her own account of what happened to the boy, and how she plotted and fought, triumphed and failed as she looked for him. It's also the story of a century-long feud--seen through the eyes of a 177-year-old witch--that Sogolon had with the Aesi, chancellor to the king. It is said that Aesi works so closely with the king that together they are like the eight limbs of one spider. Aesi's power is considerable--and deadly. It takes brains and courage to challenge him, which Sogolon does for reasons of her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both a brilliant narrative device--seeing the story told in \u003ci\u003eBlack Leopard, Red Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e from the perspective of an adversary and a woman--as well as a fascinating battle between different versions of empire, \u003ci\u003eMoon Witch, Spider King\u003c\/i\u003e delves into Sogolon's world as she fights to tell her own story. Part adventure tale, part chronicle of an indomitable woman who bows to no man, it is a fascinating novel that explores power, personality, and the places where they overlap.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarlon James\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eBlack Leopard, Red Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of Seven Killings\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2015 Man Booker Prize, as well as the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Night Women \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJohn Crow's Devil\u003c\/i\u003e.
