Magic has been erased from the kingdom of Orïsha — the king hunted down all the maji and killed them, leaving their children without power. Zélie's mother was one of them. Now Zélie has a chance to bring magic back, if she can get a sacred scroll to the right place before the prince catches her. Adeyemi draws on Yoruba mythology and West African culture to build her world, which means the magic system and the political structure are rooted in something real. The most important West African-inspired YA fantasy ever written — the book that finally gave Black girls a world as complete and expansive as the ones white kids had been given for decades.
