Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her
West African-inspired fantasy debut Children of Blood and Bone. They
killed my mother.
They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise.
Zelie remembers when the soil of Orisha hummed with magic. When
different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves,
and Zelie's Reaper mother summoning forth souls. But everything
changed the night magic disappeared.
Under the orders of a
ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zelie
without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain
with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden. Zelie is one
such person.
Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her
people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue
princess, Zelie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown
prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good. Danger lurks in
Orisha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the
waters.
Yet the greatest danger may be Zelie herself as she
struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her
growing feelings for an enemy. The movie of Children of Blood and Bone
is in development at Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions with the
incredible Karen Rosenfelt and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight, Maze Runner, The
Fault In Our Stars) producing it.
