Children of Blood and Bone
by Tomi Adeyemi
About This Book
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie's Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Why Percy Jackson Fans Will Love It
Like Percy Jackson, this series draws heavily from mythology—but instead of Greek gods, it's inspired by West African traditions and Yoruba mythology. Zélie's journey of discovering her magical powers and fighting against oppression mirrors Percy's growth, with equally compelling world-building and mythological depth.
