We’re thrilled to share the cover of Nnedi Okorafor’s The Daughter Who Remains, the conclusion to the She Who Knows trilogy—publishing February 17, 2026 from DAW Books.
Najeeba has something terrible to kill.
And now she’s off to go and kill it. A fully trained, mature and sharply focused sorcerer (don’t call her sorceress), Najeeba has left the comfort and security of her town with two companions, the glass maker Dedan and the old camel MorningStar. This journey takes her back to where it all began. And despite the fact that her training with the sorcerer Aro forced her to face her deepest fears, she hasn’t seen anything close to what she’s about to see. A masquerade does not dance for nothing. The Daughter Who Remains is the final book in the She Who Knows novella trilogy. This tale isn’t about learning to master one’s powerful skills, it’s about having the audacity and courage to use them and use them well…no matter the consequence.
