A gruesome war results in the old gods' departure from earth. The only remnants of their existence lie in two girls. Twins, separated at birth. Goddesses who grow up believing that they are human. Daughters Of Nri explores their epic journey of self-discovery as they embark on a path back to one another.
Strong-willed Naala grows up seeking adventure in her quiet and small village. While the more reserved Sinai resides in the cold and political palace of Nri. Though miles apart, both girls share an indestructible bond: they share the same blood, the same face, and possess the same unspoken magic, thought to have vanished with the lost gods.
The twin girls were separated at birth, a price paid to ensure their survival from Eze Ochichiri, the man who rules the Kingdom of Nri. Both girls are tested in ways that awaken a mystical, formidable power deep within themselves. Eventually, their paths both lead back to the mighty Eze.
But can they defeat the man who brought the gods themselves to their knees?

Daughters of Nri is a lovely story about two sisters who have no idea that they are goddesses or that they have a twin???having been separated shortly after birth since the Eze decreed that all twins in the land be put to death due to a prophecy. I especially appreciated the themes around community and finding people with similar goals and values, Reni K Amayo's adeptness at bringing to life the bonds between characters, and the way each twin had her own unique journey yet their situations paralleled each other.
It took me a few chapters to get into it and I had a few small quibbles, but I enjoyed it. Daughters of Nri drew me into its world and made me care about its characters???even one who is quite horrible at the beginning!
3 1/2 Stars - A solid read
