Blackheart Man A Novel
The magical island of Chynchin is facing conquerors from abroad and something sinister from within in this āimmersiveā¦engagingā (Kirkus Reviews) fantasy from the Grand Master Awardāwinning author Nalo Hopkinson.
Veycosi, in training as a griot (a historian and musician), hopes to sail off to examine the rare Alamat Book of Light and thus secure a spot for himself on Chynchinās Colloquium of scholars. However, unexpected events prevent that from happening. Fifteen Ymisen galleons arrive in the harbor to force a trade agreement on Chynchin. Veycosi tries to help, hoping to prove himself with a bold move, but quickly finds himself in way over his head.
Bad turns to worse when malign forces start stirring. Pickens (children) are disappearing and an ancient invading army, long frozen into piche (tar) statues by island witches is stirring to lifeāled by the fearsome demon known as the Blackheart Man. Veycosi has problems in his polyamorous personal life, too. How much trouble can a poor student take or cause all by himself as the line between myth and history blends in the āboldest reimagining of Caribbean culture since The New Moonās Armsā¦and [Hopkinsonās] most linguistically inventive work to dateā (Locus Magazine).
