In the world of Orïsha, magic once flowed through the land like blood through veins. Burners ignited flames, Tiders commanded waves, and Reapers like Zélie's mother could summon souls from beyond. But everything changed the night the king ordered the slaughter of all maji, leaving a broken world in their wake.
Follow Zélie Adebola as she navigates a kingdom where her people's magic has been stripped away and they've been reduced to second-class citizens. With only fragments of her mother's teachings and a growing power she struggles to control, Zélie embarks on a dangerous quest to restore magic to Orïsha. But her path is fraught with peril - from snow leoponaires stalking the mountains to vengeful spirits lurking in the waters.
Zélie's journey becomes even more complicated when she teams up with Amari, a rogue princess who wants nothing more than to escape her tyrant father's control. Together, they must outrun the crown prince, who is determined to destroy magic forever. As they travel through this breathtaking West African-inspired world, Zélie finds herself developing feelings for an enemy, adding emotional depth to an already complex adventure.
