What to expect

Enchantingly read by Cynthia Erivo.

The earth-shattering and magical epic finale to the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy: Children of Anguish and Anarchy by the New York Times-bestselling author Tomi Adeyemi.

New allies rise.

The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.

When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffick her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.

Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. The ruler of the Skulls, Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in foreign lands.

But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Critics Review

Adeyemi’s lush world-building and consummate plotting breathes new life into a YA fantasy epic.

Observer on Children of Blood and Bone

Full of cinematic action sequences . . . it storms the boundaries of imagination.

The New York Times on Children of Blood and Bone

Epic in scale and size… it’s a whirlwind read thanks to immersive world-building, powerful characters and ferocious plotting.

The Bookseller on Children of Blood and Bone

Adeyemi could write a hundred books in this series and keep us just as gripped as we were in the first instalment. Astonishing.

Candice Carty-Williams on Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Adeyemi’s consummate worldbuilding remains a star turn, while the political shifts and prejudices reflect contemporary struggles.

Observer on Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Tony Award-winning actor Cynthia Erivo brings her considerable talent to the long-anticipated final installment of Tomi Adeyemi’s groundbreaking fantasy, Legacy of Orisha. With a rich tonal range and depth of feeling, Erivo conveys Zélie’s anguish beautifully.
