Title of Event: Alaya Dawn Johnson - Racing the Dark
Fans of feminist fantasy and young adult literature have reason to rejoice over this debut novel by 25-year old author Alaya Dawn Johnson. Racing the Dark introduces Lana, a young woman raised in a matriarchal culture whose unwanted gift drives her into an apprenticeship with Akua, a one-armed witch with a peculiar interest in Lana’s fate. Set in a world where wielding the power of magic requires understanding the true meaning of sacrifice, this coming-of-age story has drawn comparison to The Golden Compass and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
