Khani
The Grounder elder of the Grounders and Welders; he’s a tall young man with small freeform locs and a silver ring in his nose. One of his legs is made of iron. Kâmarū is levelheaded, quiet, and extremely skilled. Zélie learns that this is because Kâmarū’s father was the elder of his clan and started training Kâmarū when Kâmarū was very little, so Kâmarū has a better foundation in Yoruba than many of his peers.

As we walk, I think of the other elders and maji, what their lives might’ve been like before the Raid. Mâzeli’s already told me how the monarchy took both his parents away. How his sister Arunima perished from grief.

Quotes
Strike, Amari.
I pull at my hair, wishing I could pull his claws out of me as well. His whispers are like the bars Kâmarū crafted from stone, a prison I can’t escape. For so long he was the scar on my back. The tyrant I had to vanquish.
How in the skies did I allow his ghost to become my guiding force?
