Look at our gal--so freshhh! The majesty, the jewellery, the braids. The authority, the defiance, the gaze. The casual step-on-me energy. Esheme hive, rise--this is our time!

Cover for the novel Season of the Serpent by Suyi Davies Okungbowa. Features a red background with bronze ornamentals; in the foreground is a Black young woman in red-beaded braids, chin slightly lifted, gazing down at the viewer. She wears white-streaked facepaint. Behind her, a ring of spears.
