Tomi Adeyemi conjures a sensational world of dark magic and danger in her Western world African-inspired dream debut Kids of Blood and Bone.

They killed my mother.

They took our magic.

They tried to bury us.

Today we rise.

Zérest remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled – Burners igniting flames, about Children of Bloodstream and Bone Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls.

But everything changed the night time magic disappeared. Beneath the orders of the ruthless king, a person with capabilities was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without wish. Only a few people remain with the power to make use of magic, plus they must stay hidden.

Zélie is one particular person. Now she has an opportunity to recreate magic to her people and hit against the monarchy. By using a rogue princess, Zérest must learn to harness her capabilities and outrun the crown prince, who’s hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Risk lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. The greatest danger could be Zélie herself as she problems to come quickly to terms with the strength of her magic – and her growing feelings for an foe.

The film of Kids of Blood and Bone is in development at Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions with the incredible Karen Rosenfelt and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight, Maze Runner, The Mistake In Our Superstars) producing it.
