Magic can burn, turn tides, light the darkness and bring back the dead. But magic is gone. So one girl must bring it back in the first in a gripping fantasy trilogy.
The most anticipated fantasy of the year, soon to be a major motion picture
ZĆ©lie Adebola remembers when the soil of OrĆÆsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and ZĆ©lie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving ZĆ©lie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now ZĆ©lie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, ZĆ©lie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in OrĆÆsha, where snow leoponaires prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be ZĆ©lie herself as she struggles to control her powers – and her growing feelings for an enemy.
