But the novel is more than that: It's also the story of how an abused, overlooked girl focuses the love and anger within her to become the Moon Witch and defy the Aesi, the powerful chancellor to the king. It takes brains, courage, and cunning to challenge the Aesi, which Sogolon takes on for reasons that are distinctly her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth a brilliant narrative device—seeing the story told in \u003ci\u003eBlack Leopard, Red Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e from the perspective of an adversary and a woman—and a fascinating contrast between different versions of empire, \u003ci\u003eMoon Witch, Spider King\u003c\/i\u003e is the gripping account of Sogolon and her struggles to tell her own story. Part adventure tale, part chronicle of an indomitable woman who bows to no man, it is a propulsive novel that explores power, personality, and the unexpected places where they overlap.","brand":"Marlon James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":53107534102688,"sku":"9780385690379","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7efc96e8-975e-4048-96db-5b769c8c9059.jpg?v=1765746567","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780385690379","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
