Raybearer is a 2020 young adult fantasy novel by Nigerian American writer Jordan Ifueko.

The Lady sends Tarisal to the city of Oluwan, the capital of the Aritsar Empire in order to train and compete to become one of the Crown Prince's closest confidantes.

If Tarisai is picked, she will be joined with the other members of a council through the Ray, a bond considered deeper than blood.

It was influenced by Ifueko's knowledge of West African culture, civilizations and experiences as a child of immigrants in California.

In September 2021, it was announced that Netflix will be adapting the novel into a television series, under a new overall deal with Gina Atwater.
