Arrow of God

A powerful clash between tradition, power, and colonial rule.

In this gripping follow-up to Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe turns to Ezeulu, the proud and unyielding chief priest of the god Ulu. As British colonial forces tighten their grip on Nigeria, Ezeulu battles not only foreign interference but growing dissent within his own community. Determined to defend his god and his authority, he makes a fateful choice that leads his people—and himself—toward devastation.

Arrow of God is a compelling portrait of leadership under pressure, where cultural pride, religious duty, and personal ambition collide with tragic consequences.
