If you’re looking for a fresh new character, a fierce, female Ghanaian assassin, the story of Nena Knight (otherwise known as Echo) will leave you breathless and eager for Angoe’s sequel.  Stolen from her Ghanaian village as a child, Nena Knight has plenty of motives to kill. Now an elite assassin for a powerful business syndicate called the Tribe, she gets plenty of chances. But while on assignment in Miami, Nena ends up saving a life, not taking one. She emerges from the experience a changed woman, finally hopeful for a life beyond rage and revenge. Tasked with killing a man she’s come to respect, Nena struggles to reconcile her loyalty to the Tribe with her new purpose. Yasmin Angoe is a bold and beautiful new voice in popular fiction and will inspire you to never give up on the writing process. \n"}
