Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

Marlon James, a Jamaican writer, published Black Leopard, Red Wolf in 2019. It is the first installment of a planned trilogy. The novel incorporates African history and mythology into the landscapes of the North and South Kingdoms, as well as the political tensions between these two warring states and the various city-states and tribes in the surrounding landscape. Michael B. Jordan purchased the rights to make a film adaptation prior to the book's release in February 2019.

Tracker, renowned for his ability to track people, is followed by Black Leopard and Red Wolf. Tracker, along with a motley crew of supernatural mercenaries, is hired to find a missing boy and uncovers a conspiracy in the process. This epic, the first in a planned trilogy, has been dubbed the "African Game of Thrones" because it honors African mythology with the same sense of adventure and mystery as Game of Thrones. Not to mention that it's extremely violent. However, James' hallucinatory and perplexing prose transforms the fantasy plotline. It's already been optioned for film rights, so read it before it hits the big screen!
