"An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller A TIME Top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time A New York Times Notable Children's Book A Kirkus Prize Finalist Five Starred Reviews

Now available in a deluxe paperback edition with gorgeous spray-painted and stenciled edges, Tomi Adeyemi's groundbreaking West African-inspired fantasy debut, and instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, conjures a world of magic and danger, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.

They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us.

Now we rise.

Z�lie Adebola remembers when the soil of Or�sha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Z�lie's Reaper mother summoned forth souls.

But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Z�lie without a mother and her people without hope.

Now Z�lie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Z�lie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Danger lurks in Or�sha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Z�lie herself as she struggles to control her powers and her growing feelings for an enemy.
