to be released as well. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the

Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning
world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut,
perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with
magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother
summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the
orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without
a mother and her people without hope.
Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against
the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun
the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and
vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie
herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the
enemy.
