Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy Children of Blood and Bone, the first in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Legacy of Or?¡¥sha series.
'A hugely enjoyable escapist story that makes you re-examine the world around you.' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Deathless Girls
They killed my mother.
They took our magic.
They tried to bury us.
Now we rise . . .
Z¨¦lie remembers when the soil of Or?¡¥sha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Z¨¦lie's Reaper mother summoning forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Z¨¦lie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now Z¨¦lie has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Z¨¦lie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Or?¡¥sha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Z¨¦lie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy . . .
'Three perspectives, complex world-building and superlative characterisation make this a must for fantasy fans.' - Imogen Russell Williams, Metro
