Zélie Adebola remembers when the land of Orïsha thrummed with magic. Burners conjured flames. Tiders formed waves. And Zélie’s mother, a Reaper, summoned souls. But everything changed when the magic disappeared.
By the orders of a cruel king, the maji were hunted and killed, leaving Zélie motherless and her people hopeless. Now, Zélie has a chance to bring magic back and strike against the monarchy.
With the help of a runaway princess, Zélie must outwit and evade the prince, who is determined to eradicate magic once and for all. Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leopards roam and vengeful spirits wait beneath the waters.
Still, Zélie’s greatest threat may be herself, as she struggles to control her powers—and her heart.
Filhos de sangue e osso (Children of Blood and Bone) is the first book in the fantasy trilogy based on Yoruba culture, The Legacy of Orïsha, and is being adapted into a film.
