A woman who has survived the annihilation of her village and a terrible rape by an enemy general wanders into the desert, hoping to die. Instead, she gives birth to an angry baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand. Gripped by the certainty that her daughter is different--\u003ci\u003especial\u003c\/i\u003e--she names her Onyesonwu, which means \"Who fears death?\" in an ancient language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt doesn't take long for Onye to understand that she is physically and socially marked by the circumstances of her conception. She is \u003ci\u003eEwu\u003c\/i\u003e--a child of rape who is expected to live a life of violence, a half-breed rejected by her community. But Onye is not the average \u003ci\u003eEwu\u003c\/i\u003e. Even as a child, she manifests the beginnings of a remarkable and unique magic. As she grows, so do her abilities, and during an inadvertent visit to the spirit realm, she learns something terrifying: someone powerful is trying to kill her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesperate to elude her would-be murderer and to understand her own nature, she embarks on a journey in which she grapples with nature, tradition, history, true love, and the spiritual mysteries of her culture, and ultimately learns why she was given the name she bears: Who Fears Death.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNnedi Okorafor\u003c\/b\u003e was born in the United States to two Igbo (Nigerian) immigrant parents.
