Iyanu Child of Wonder Volume 1
By Roye Okupe
Illustrated by Godwin Akpan
Iyanu, a teenage orphan with no recollection of her past, suddenly discovers that she has abilities that rival the ancient deities told in the folklore of her people.
It is these abilities that are the key to bringing back an "age of wonders," as Iyanu begins her journey to save a world on the brink of destruction! The Corrupt--cursed wildlife and strange, divine beasts--are determined to destroy humanity, unless Iyanu can stop them.
Iyanu is part of the YouNeek YouNiverse! comprising extraordinary fantasy and superhero stories inspired by African history, culture, and mythology-created by the best Nigerian comics talent!
"Our mission is and always has been about empowering African creatives and storytelling while bringing both to a global audience." - Roye Okupe, Founder/Creative Director at YouNeek Studios
