Brown Girl in the Ring was Hopkinson’s debut novel about a young bargaining with the gods to save her city. The story takes place in a city where the rich and privileged have fled the city and left it crumble. To survive, the people of the inner city have had to return to the old ways like farming and herb lore. However, the rich now find themselves in need of bodies and start to prey on the helpless still in the city. A young woman decides to do something about it and opens herself up to a world of ancient truths and eternal powers.

Nalo also wrote Sister Mine that explores the relationship between two sisters. The girls, Makeda and Abby, were born as conjoined twins which left them each unique. Abby was the one born with the magic while Makeda was merely mortal. This leaves Makeda on the outside looking in on the magical family. As Abby’s powers start to develop, Makeda makes the decision to go and live in the real world among the rest of the mortals. However, when their magical father goes missing Makeda will reunite with her sister to try and save him.
