If the Lagos-to-London job to steal the Brass Head of Obalufon—and the way Shigidi and Nneoma dance past divine politics, security systems, and double-crosses—was your jam, you’ll tear through Foundryside. Sancia teams up with a morally gray crew and a chatty, sentient key to pull off break-ins against ruthless merchant houses, with escalating schemes that mirror the Obalufon caper’s mix of brains, wards, and betrayals.

You liked how Shigidi plants orisha turf wars in contemporary streets—from Lagos backrooms to London galleries—while a dangerous deity keeps inserting themselves into human lives. In Black Water Sister, Jess is possessed by her grandmother’s ghost and dragged into Penang’s underworld of hungry gods and gangsters; the snarky, vengeful Black Water Sister feels like the kind of capricious power Shigidi and Nneoma have to bargain with.

If watching Shigidi—an old nightmare god pressed into modern contracts—and Nneoma navigate love, identity, and power in human cities hooked you, The Golem and the Jinni offers that same myth-made-flesh resonance. Chava (a golem) and Ahmad (a jinni) stride through 1899 New York’s immigrant neighborhoods, their uneasy friendship and secret pasts echoing Shigidi’s uneasy place among orisha bosses and his bond with Nneoma.

If you enjoyed Shigidi’s not-quite-heroic hustles—taking jobs, making compromises, and cutting deals around the Obalufon head—American Gods hits the same vein. Shadow falls in with Mr. Wednesday, a slippery old god running cons and coercions; the road-trip collisions, backroom negotiations, and clashes between old powers and new mirror the orisha politicking and questionable choices that drive Shigidi and Nneoma.

Drawn to how the Obalufon head puts colonial looting and museum gatekeeping under a spotlight? In A Master of Djinn, Agent Fatma delves into a mass killing tied to secret societies and stolen djinn relics in an alternate Cairo where empire’s fingerprints are everywhere. The tension around who owns power and history—and the way institutions weaponize both—parallels Shigidi and Nneoma’s showdown over repatriation and divine ownership.
