Ekwensu is a dangerous, powerful, evil masquerade. Black Hat Otokoto plans to bring her from the wilderness to the physical world, where she’ll bring about the end of the world. He succeeds—so Sunny and her friends must battle a hundred-foot-tall, 50-foot-wide masquerade made of brittle palm leaves. Sunny manages to send Ekwensu back to the wilderness, however, averting disaster for the time being.

Chapter 19 Quotes

On instinct, Sunny let her spirit face move forward. In that moment, her fear of everything left her—her fear of Ekwensu’s evil, of being flayed alive by the monster’s fronds, of her family learning of her death, of the world’s end. It all evaporated. Sunny smiled. She knew how the world would end. She knew that someday she would die. She knew her family would live on if she died right now. And she realized that she knew Ekwensu.

And Sunny hated her.
