Immerse yourself in an impressive world of dark magic and danger with 'Children of Blood and Bone', a novel inspired by West Africa. Zélie Adebola remembers a time when the land of Orïsha was brimming with magic, but everything changed the night it disappeared. Now, under the rule of a ruthless king, the maji were brutally murdered, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. However, Zélie sees an opportunity to return magic to her people, but to achieve this, she must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is willing to eradicate magic forever. Danger lurks in every corner of Orïsha, with snow leopards and vengeful spirits lurking. But the greatest danger may lie in Zélie herself, as she struggles to control her powers. The time has come for Zélie to reclaim her legacy and for her people to regain hope.
