- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

Shigidi is the lowliest of the Yoruba gods in the Orisha Spirit Company. As a nightmare god, he has so few believers that he barely has enough prayers to live on. He doesn’t even have a body – he’s just a tiny creature made of mud. Until he goes on a job one night and encounters Nneoma, a beautiful succubus who makes him an offer he can’t refuse: give up your godhood and join me as my companion and lover, and I’ll remake you into a beautiful incubus.

Together, they attempt to break free of his obligations and the restrictions that have bound him to his godhood and navigate the parameters of their new relationship in the shadow of her past. But the elder gods that run the Orisha Spirit Company have other plans for Shigidi, and they are not all aligned – or good.

From the boisterous streets of Lagos to the swanky rooftop bars of Singapore and the secret spaces of London, Shigidi and Nneoma will encounter old acquaintances, rival gods, strange creatures, and manipulative magicians as they are drawn into a web of revenge, spirit business, and a spectacular heist across two worlds that will change Shigidi’s understanding of himself forever and determine the fate of the Orisha Spirit Company.
