Coming from the West African village of Lai, a Virginia plantation and Jamaica, three characters meet at the settlement of Monrovia, and it is through their disparate yet connected stories that Wayétu Moore crafts an astonishing new vision of the founding years of Liberia.
In 1831, Gbessa is exiled from Lai for being cursed, forced to wander alone and starving with only the spirit of the wind to guide her. June Dey is born on the Emerson plantation with superhuman strength, which he conceals until a confrontation with an overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the son of a white British coloniser and a Maroon slave, finds he has inherited his mother's power to disappear at will.
When their paths cross amid the tensions between African America settlers and indigenous tribes in Liberia, their peculiar gifts become central to the founding conflicts of this emerging state. She Would Be King is a brilliantly imagined mixture of history and magical realism from an exciting new writer.

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy.
