Even as a child, she manifests the beginnings of a remarkable and unique magic. She is Ewu-a child of rape who is expected to live a life of violence, a half-breed rejected by her community. It doesn't take long for Onye to understand that she is physically and socially marked by the circumstances of her conception. Gripped by the certainty that her daughter is different- special-she names her Onyesonwu, which means "Who fears death?" in an ancient language. Instead, she gives birth to an angry baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand. 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.
