Ibi Zoboi, a National Book Award Finalist and New York Times
best-selling author, joins Marvel Universe storytelling with this
heartfelt novel that takes Okoye to America for the very first time.
Before she became a multifaceted warrior and the confident leader of the
Dora Milaje, Okoye was adjusting to her new life and attempting to find
her place in Wakanda's royal guard. Initially excited to receive an
assignment for her very first mission and trip outside Wakanda, Okoye
discovers that her status as a Dora Milaje means nothing to New Yorkers.
When she meets teenagers not much younger than herself struggling with
the gentrification of their beloved Brooklyn neighborhood, her
expectations for the world outside her own quickly fall apart. As she
gets to know the young people of Brownsville, Okoye uncovers the truth
about the plans of a manipulative real-estate mogul pulling all the
strings--and how far-reaching those secret plans really are.
Caught between fulfilling her duty to her country and listening to her
own heart urging her to stand up for Brownsville, Okoye must determine
the type of Dora Milaje--and woman--she wants to be.
In this fish-out-of-water story, New York Times best-selling author
and National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi combines the high-stakes
adventure of the world of the Black Panther with the grounded and
real-world challenges that bring her work to life.
