This second volume is a breathtaking story that sweeps across the sands of the Sahara, flies up to the peaks of the Aïr Mountains, cartwheels into a wild megacity—you get the idea. I am the Desert Magician; I bring water where there is none. This book begins with Dikéogu Obidimkpa slowly losing his mind. Yes, that boy who can bring rain just by thinking about it is having some…issues. Years ago, Dikéogu went on an epic journey to save Earth with the shadow speaker girl, Ejii Ubaid, who became his best friend. When it was all over, they went their separate ways, but now hes learned their quest never really ended at all. So Dikéogu, more powerful than ever, reunites with Ejii. He records this story as an audiofile, hoping it will help him keep his sanity or at least give him something to leave behind. Smart kid, but it wont work—or will it? I can tell you this: it wont be like before. Our rainmaker and shadow speaker have changed. And after this, nothing will ever be the same again. As they say, Onye amaro ebe nmili si bido mabaya ama ama onye nyelu ya akwa oji welu ficha aru. Or, If you do not remember where the rain started to beat you, you will not remember who gave you the towel with which to dry your body.
