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. A phenomenon. --Entertainment Weekly The epic I've been waiting for. --New York Times-bestselling author Marie Lu You will be changed. You will be ready to rise up and reclaim your own magic --New York Times-bestselling author Dhonielle Clayton The next big thing in literature and film. --Ebony One of the biggest young adult fiction debut book deals of the year. --Teen Vogue This title has Common Core connections.
