In the vibrant West-African-inspired kingdom of Orïsha, magic has been suppressed for generations, leaving the land fractured and its people oppressed. Zélie Adebola, a young woman who still remembers the whispers of ancient power, embarks on a perilous quest to restore magic and strike a blow against a tyrannical monarchy. Facing treacherous enemies and grappling with her own burgeoning abilities, Zélie must harness the strength of her ancestors and unite a divided people before the next full moon seals their fate forever. This epic fantasy debut masterfully weaves themes of oppression, resistance, and the enduring power of hope into a thrilling narrative of courage and self-discovery.
