Omar Epps's books make up the Nubia series, a pair of dystopian novels set in a future New York City reshaped by climate change. The first, Nubia: The Awakening, written with Clarence A. Haynes, follows three teenagers who discover unusual powers tied to their families' past, and blends epic fantasy with Afrofuturist ideas. The second, Nubia: The Reckoning, leans further into science fiction and climate fiction.
