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? Review: Beautiful, Entrancing, Heart Breaking, Powerful - I haven’t cried for a book in a hot minute and boy did I cry. The story was so beautiful written and pulled together. Amayo handles our heroines with such care that the readers wants to also take care of them. Naala and Sinai made me want to bundle them up and take care of them. Two twins who have to burden the weight of the world, separated yet connected through power, loss and more importantly love. Amayo creates a world that pictures Nigeria free from colonialism and the scars of Slavery and in her great imagination she’s created a magical realm. She imagines a world where Black women are allowed to access their power and not shamed for the whims of their emotions. There is no shame for wanting revenge or retribution their is only understanding. The pacing of the story is consistently engaging and mysterious. The stakes constantly rise as you continue and we are left wanting more. This book was a delight to read and I’m so happy it was plopped into my lap by my own attraction to beautiful covers. Further, this novel kept me up all night as I simply could not sleep until I got to the end. I am contemplating starting the next one as I finish this review. Who needs sleep really? Review: The Daughters of Nri Story -- An Amazing fantasy set in a fabulous world! - This is a fascinating listen. I am amazed the writer, Reni K. Mayo, can create such an amazing story of mystery, magic, violence, and love. The gods see tremendous tumult in the world. They decide to leave the people to their own devices. However, the ruler of longstanding knows that in the world there is a threat to his power. He has removed (killed) the Mother, loving guardian and protector of the world. He has sought those who threaten him and thinks he has removed the threat. However, Meekulu, who works as a harmless but very talented old cook is more than she seems. She is the keeper of the country's history and critical artifacts. She becomes the mentor for Sinai. Sinai is a young woman who lives in fear. She is on the lower wrung of nobles. Meekulu helps Sinai realize that she has the power to be more than she thinks she is. Meekulu is charged as a witch and burned alive. Actually, there are two young women who play important roles in this story. The other woman, Esinaala (Naala) is imbued with power. Further, she learns well into the story that she and Sinai are sisters who were divided at birth and assigned to different mothers so that the evil king in the story could not find them to kill them. That king, Eze, has magic powers and a ruthless army at his disposal to remove any and all threats. He did not learn until a group including the two young women snuck into the palace later on in an attempt to steal a object of power. Once aware of the two women and the threat they represents, he makes a move to kill them both. I won't spoil the ending of the story but giving away what is done by whom but I cannot wait to read or listen to the other books in the series! ## Images ![Daughters of Nri - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811-eLHmxGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, Entrancing, Heart Breaking, Powerful *by E***E on July 9, 2021* I haven’t cried for a book in a hot minute and boy did I cry.

I finished it in 2 1/2 days, it was that good...that gripping, that engaging! The characters and the world building were amazing. The prose is absolutely lyrical and the language (yes, I did put the story on hold to look up various words and whether each plant, tree, Ndu crystal or glowing insects really were real) and description of the Furuefu forest and the palace and all the dwellings in between really made me feel like I was there, that I was walking amongst Naala or awakening in my Awku nest like Sinai. I don't know which sister I loved more. I adored them both--Naala...beautiful, brave, strong Naala. How I loved her journey...how I loved her need for freedom, her fierce love for her family, and how I longed for the same revenge she was set on enacting. I loved her relationship with Eni, that sweet, beautiful slowburn...it's one of my favorite parts of Naala's journey. Sinai, the "unimportant", unassuming one. I adored her personality, her inquistiveness, her awkwardness. And her strength, which may not have been as prominent or pronounced as Naala's but there all the same. From her fall to the rise of her power, I was there, reading it all with bated, excited breath. From her relationship with Meekulu to her budding friendship with Ina, I was drawn to her journey. ...But I can't pinpoint a favorite character, not when they all were so vivid and lively and descriptive that they practically jumped off the page and into my heart. Seriously, from their personalities to their descriptions, these characters felt ALIVE. From Eni to Meekulu to Madi to Kora to Ginny to Ina, even Obe Ife and the Eze...no character left me indifferent. I enjoyed them all, for everything that they lent to this beautiful story and the roles they played in each sisters journey back home...back to one another. Fantastic characters and plot aside, the only con I can find in this story was the ending...it just felt rushed, incomplete, too abrupt. But I know...even now that it's over, this is a book I will be picking back up (again and again). Thank you Reni--for Naala, for Sinai, for the journey of these beautiful black sisters and all their black girls magic! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/180795896-daughters-of-nri](https://www.desertcart.be/products/180795896-daughters-of-nri) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
