Synopses

Children of Blood and Bone

Zélie remembers Orïsha when magic was alive and clans ruled with different powers, from igniting flames to beckoning waves and summoning souls. After magic vanishes, a king orders the targeting and killing of anyone with powers, leaving Zélie without her mother and her people without hope. When an opportunity arises to bring magic back, she sets out with the help of a rogue princess, learning to harness her abilities while fleeing a crown prince determined to end magic for good.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Zélie and Amari restore magic to Orïsha, but the ritual is more powerful than expected. It reignites the abilities of the maji and also nobles with magic ancestry. As Zélie attempts to unite the maji against enemies as powerful as they are, the threat of civil war grows, and she must find a way to bring the kingdom together before Orïsha tears itself apart.
