"Dancing to its own fantastical tune, this third Intasimi Warriors story sees the crew embark on a dangerous quest to save their mentor from monstrous Life Drinkers."
Fantastical, suffused in Kenyan culture and ancestral magic, and driven by the secret powers of an extraordinary crew of friends, Soni and the Life Drinkers sees Shiko Nguru take her Intasimi Warriors series to new high-stakes heights.
For context, if you’re not familiar with the series, Soni “could channel the rhythm of drum beats through her body and turn them into powerful sound vibrations that were released through her hands. These sonic waves were powerful enough to blast anyone and anything clear across a room”.
Soni is also is a member of the Intasimi Warriors — “a team of four children who had inherited magical powers from their ancestors. Her and her three friends Mwikali, Odwar and Xirsi used their powers to save the world from evil”.
In this case, fresh evil manifests itself early on when Soni realises that the Warriors’ beloved mentor is having years stolen from him by a deadly Life Drinker. So, she and the team resolve to discover the true identity of the Life Drinker, to “put a stop to this once and for all”.
Peppered with page-turning cliff-hangers, Soni and the Life Drinkers sees Soni forced to face serious dilemmas (and monsters) in a thrilling story of courage, sacrifice, friendship and loyalties.
The Intasimi Warriors are about to embark on their third and most challenging adventure to date - saving their beloved mentor from dying at the hands of the Life Drinkers. And when Soni discovers that her mum has a twin sister with a dark secret, she might just have found the key to discovering the Life Drinkers' identity.
