Klappentext zu „Beasts of War “
In this epic conclusion to her New York Times bestselling series, Ayana Gray delivers a heart-pounding fantasy adventure filled with mythos, monsters, and mortal heroes who are astoundingly human.Once a prisoner to Fedu, the vengeful god of death, Koffi has regained her freedom, but she is far from safe. Fedu will stop at nothing to hunt her down and use her power to decimate the mortal world. Koffi knows when Fedu will strike: during the next Bonding, a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. To survive, Koffi will have to find powerful new allies quickly, and convince them to help her in the terrible battle to come.
Once a warrior-turned-runaway, Ekon has carved out a new life for himself outside Lkossa, but the shadows of his past still haunt him. Now, alongside unexpected friends, Ekon tries to focus on getting Koffi to the Kusonga Plains before the next Bonding. If he fails, Koffi will be consumed, either by her own dangerous power, or the terrible fate Ekon is doing everything he can to prevent. Ekon devotes himself to protecting Koffi, but the lingering threats from his own past are more urgent than he knows.
As Koffi and Ekon race to the Kusonga Plains—and try to garner the help of Eshōza’s ancient gods along the way—they must face a slew of dangerous beasts old and new. In the end, destiny may unite Koffi and Ekon for the last time—or tear them apart for good.
Lese-Probe zu „Beasts of War “
By the time Koffi emerged from Makena s tent, the encampment was nearly unrecognizable. The tents that d been staked all around were gone, giving her for the first time an unobstructed view of their surroundings. They were in open marshlands; green grass stretched for miles around, and a wispy, lingering fog hung low over it. She turned, then ducked, barely missing the giant rolled-up canvas that went over her head as two young darajas who d escaped Fedu s realm with her carried it past on their shoulders. They offered her smiles as they headed toward Ano, who was standing in the middle of the three wagons and pointing left and right as if directing traffic.Put that food in wagon two, it should have been sealed already! she snapped. Linens and bedrolls go in wagon three. Let s move, people! Though I may look it, I am certainly not getting any younger standing around!
Koffi looked around the rest of the campsite, trying to find something to do before Ano spotted her. Her heart did an impressive arrangement of cartwheels as she noticed Ekon making his way across the campsite with a basket held against his torso.
Talk to him, she told herself. You ve barely spoken since you woke up. And before that . . . Koffi gnawed at her bottom lip. She and Ekon hadn t discussed the fact that he d come all the way from Lkossa to find her. When she d seen him in the Temple of Lkossa s sky garden, he d been bloodied and broken, and she hadn t been able to give him any clues about where she d gone. He d still found her. That had to mean something, she just didn t know where that something left the two of them, and thinking about it made her palms sweaty.
Just talk to him.
The decision was made for her when, a second later, Ekon looked up, noticed her, and changed direction so that he was heading straight toward her. Koffi tried to keep her breath even as he approached. And then he was

just there, standing right before her.
Hey, he said warmly.
Uh . . . hi.
It s good to see you up and about.
Do not say something ridiculous, say something normal. Koffi cleared her throat. That s a nice basket you ve got there. What s in it?
Um . . . dirty clothes.
Oh. Great. Ridiculous.
Ekon shifted the basket in question to one arm, and it took Koffi a considerable amount of effort not to look at his biceps as they flexed. She wanted to kick herself. Baskets? Baskets?
Ten minutes! Ano shouted to their left. We are leaving in exactly ten minutes, people! I give you all fair warning: Relieve yourselves before we depart. There will be no unscheduled breaks on my caravan!
But what if there s an emergency? asked Zain innocently as he passed Ano with an armful of crates. Koffi thought she heard an undertone of mischief in the question.
The woman frowned. The same thing that happened the last time, you impertinent boy. You will use a disaster bucket!
Koffi met Ekon s eye. They lasted for about a second before they both burst into a fit of laughter. Koffi relaxed fractionally, relieved that it was that easy to go back to some semblance of the way they d once been. Disaster buckets? she repeated.
Ekon pretended to look solemn. The less you know, the better. He cracked a smile.
