THE WOMAN KING 2 (2026)

Victory came at a great cost, but the true battle for Dahomey’s future is just beginning.

The kingdom has risen from the ashes, its strength tempered by the trials of war. Yet, the shadow of a new threat looms. A hidden European coalition, more ruthless and more cunning than ever, returns to challenge Dahomey’s sovereignty with ambitions far deadlier than before.

Nawi, now the new face of the Agojie, stands ready to lead the next generation of warriors. Her resolve is unmatched, but the weight of leadership is a constant pressure. She must forge alliances both on and off the battlefield, navigating a world where enemies no longer come with spears, but with whispers and deceit.

General Nanisca, the heart of Dahomey’s army, must face betrayal at the highest levels—a wound deeper than any blade she’s ever wielded. With her trust shattered, she is forced to make choices that will test her loyalty to her people and her place in the kingdom.

Into this fragile moment, an exiled Portuguese captain arrives—his knowledge of foreign war tactics and sea-bound strategies a tantalizing offering. But his motives are shrouded in mystery: will his counsel save Dahomey, or is it a trap that could doom them all?

As the sea churns with storm-lit battles, midnight ambushes, and duels for honor, the once indomitable warriors must fight for more than just survival. Legacy and loyalty will be tested as the flames of freedom flicker, threatened by forces both within and beyond the walls of Dahomey.

This sequel promises to rewrite history in a clash of fire, steel, and courage. The future is uncertain, but one thing is for sure: Dahomey will never kneel again.
