This Saturday, June 7th, Adam Oyebanji will be participating in a panel at Cymera 2025! The panel is History Redux, and also features Nicholas Binge and Roisin Dunnett, chaired by Marco Rinaldi: ‘The past is never really past—especially when memory, myth, and history collide.’ The event is ticketed, and more details can be found here.

Oyebanji’s latest novel is ESPERANCE, which was published last month in the UK by Arcadia Books. Here’s the synopsis…

An impossible death: Detective Ethan Krol has been called to the scene of a baffling murder: a man and his son, who appear to have been drowned in sea-water. But the nearest ocean is a thousand miles away.

An improbable story: Hollie Rogers doesn’t want to ask too many questions of her new friend, Abi Eniola. Abi claims to be an ordinary woman from Nigeria, but her high-tech gadgets and extraordinary physical abilities suggest she’s not telling the whole truth.

An incredible quest: As Ethan’s investigation begins to point towards Abi, Hollie’s fears mount. For Abi is very much not who she seems. And it won’t be long before Ethan and Hollie find themselves playing a part in a story that spans cultures, continents . . . and centuries.

An extraordinary speculative thriller about the scars left by the Atlantic slave-trade, by a master of the genre.

Zeno represents Adam Oyebanji in the UK and Commonwealth, on behalf of the JABberwocky Literary Agency in New York.
