Awards (verified)
- Nebula Award (Best Novel), 2024: finalist; 59th Annual Nebula Awards (ceremony 2024, for 2023-published work); verified directly against nebulas.sfwa.org. Winner that year was The Saint of Bright Doors (already admitted to this canon).
Notes
- A Yoruba-mythology-based fantasy heist novel following the deity Shigidi. Talabi is primarily known as a science-fiction short-fiction author; no other work of his shares this continuity, so this stands as its own self-contained novel rather than part of a series.
