Namina Forna is an author who debuted in 2021 with the release of The Gilded Ones, the first in a series. Forna is originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa. She moved to the United States at age nine and has traveled between her two homes ever since.
Her debut novel, The Gilded Ones, was an instant bestseller and drew her work comparisons as a YA fantasy equivalent of the great Toni Morrison. That is a high compliment and well deserved. Her book is haunting and brutal while also being completely relevant to the world we now live in. The book is a dark feminist fantasy tale where the girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice.
