My mother was murdered.
They stole our sorcery.
Their goal was to bury us.
We now get up.
Zélie Adebola recalls a time when Orïsha's land pulsed with wonder. Zélie's mother, the Reaper, called out souls, while burners sparked fires and tiders tempted waters.
However, everything changed, and the night magic vanished. Zélie lost her mother and her people lost hope when maji were executed on a cruel king's command.
Zélie now has a single opportunity to overthrow the monarchy and resurrect magic. Zélie has to outsmart and outpace the crown prince, who is determined to permanently banish magic, with the aid of a renegade princess.
Orïsha is a dangerous place, full of malevolent ghosts waiting in the waterways and predatory snow leoponaires. However, Zélie herself could be the most threat given her inability to manage her abilities and her developing love for an adversary.
