Product details
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is a West African-inspired young adult fantasy novel set in the magical kingdom of Orïsha, where magic has been brutally suppressed by a ruthless king. The story follows Zélie Adebola, a headstrong teenage divîner (someone born with latent magical powers, marked by white hair), who embarks on a quest to restore magic to her people and overthrow the oppressive regime.
After the massacre of maji (magic wielders) and the disappearance of magic, divîners face persecution and discrimination. Zélie, still mourning her mother's death in the purge, discovers a magical scroll stolen by Princess Amari, the king's daughter who has fled the palace. Together with her brother Tzain, they set out to perform a ceremony to bring magic back, while evading Crown Prince Inan, who is determined to destroy magic completely.
Throughout their journey, Zélie and her companions battle external dangers and internal struggles, including Zélie’s temporary loss of magic and Inan’s revelation that he possesses magic himself. The climax unfolds at a sacred temple where Zélie confronts the king and fights to complete a ritual with blood magic—an act that nearly costs her life but ultimately restores magic to Orïsha.
The novel explores themes of oppression, racism, resilience, and the power of hope, weaving in rich elements from Yoruba culture and mythology. It balances thrilling adventure with social commentary, making it a landmark debut that sparked a successful trilogy.
Key plot points include:
Zélie’s quest to restore magic alongside Amari and Tzain.
The revelation of Crown Prince Inan’s secret magical abilities, complicating his loyalty.
The slaughter of magic wielders and ongoing struggles of the divîners.
The sacrificial battle to complete the ritual restoring magic to the land.
Zélie’s journey through life, death, and return, symbolizing rebirth for her people.
The shift in power as Princess Amari gains her own magical abilities.
The book is acclaimed for its vivid worldbuilding, complex characters, and its allegorical handling of real-world injustices, such as systemic racism and police brutality.
For further reading or study:
The first installment in the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy.
Film adaptation development by Paramount Pictures underway.
Influenced by Nigerian culture and mythology.
This novel is ideal for readers of young adult fiction who enjoy fantasy with a mix of action, cultural depth, and social themes.
