Who Fears Death falls under Martin’s overall deal with HBO which also includes his involvement in the planned GOT spinoffs currently in development at HBO. The project reunites Lombardo, who oversaw HBO’s programming when GOT was developed, launched and won its first best series Emmy Award, and Martin, on whose books the fantasy series is based and who executive produces the blockbuster drama, now heading into its final season. Martin and Lombardo executive produce with Angela Mancuso. Hinds is co-executive producer while Okorafor will serve as consultant. She must go on a journey from self-reproach to love, but to do so she’ll have to overcome untold obstacles-defeating her hated sorcerer father and becoming the instrument of prophetic deliverance for a land of oppressed people, all the while fighting to master the terrifying powers growing inside her. Who Fears Death tells the coming of age tale of Onyesowu in post-apocalyptic North Africa where her story makes her an outcast. It was Okorafor who in July tweeted that her book is being optioned by HBO for a series produced by Martin. ©2015 Nnedi Okorafor (P)2015 Audible, Inc.Who Fears Death, which will be written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, is based on the sci-fi fantasy novel by Nnedi Okorafo. Before her story ends, Phoenix will travel from the United States to Africa and back, changing the entire course of humanity's future. But Phoenix's escape, and her destruction of Tower 7, is just the beginning of her story. Then one evening Saeed witnesses something so terrible that he takes his own life.ĭevastated by his death and Tower 7's refusal to answer her questions, Phoenix finally begins to realize that her home is really her prison, and she becomes desperate to escape. Still innocent and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she is content living in her room speed reading ebooks, running on her treadmill, and basking in the love of Saeed, another biologically altered human of Tower 7.

She is an 'accelerated woman' - only two years old but with the body and mind of an adult, Phoenix's abilities far exceed those of a normal human. Phoenix was grown and raised among other genetic experiments in New York's Tower 7. A prequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award-winning novel Who Fears Death, it features the rise of another of Nnedi Okorafor's powerful, memorable, superhuman women. The Book of Phoenix is a unique work of magical futurism. She brings the aroma of scorched sand and ozone.

A fiery spirit dances from the pages of the Great Book.
