Zelie Adebola recuerda cuando la tierra de Orisha desprendia magia. Pero todo cambio la noche en que esta desaparecio. Por orden del rey, los maji fueron perseguidos y aniquilados. Ahora, Zelie tiene una oportunidad de devolver la magia a su gente, pero para ello debera ser mas rapida y astuta que el principe heredero del trono, que esta dispuesto a todo con tal de erradicar la magia para siempre. El peligro acecha en Orisha, donde los leopardarios de nieve campan a sus anchas y los espiritus vengativos esperan escondidos bajo el agua. Sin embargo, el mayor peligro puede ser la propia Zelie en su lucha por controlar sus poderes. Es la hora de que Zelie recupere su legado. Es la hora de que un pueblo recupere la esperanza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
With five starred reviews, Tomi Adeyemi's West African-inspired fantasy debut, and instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, conjures a world of magic and danger, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.
They killed my mother.
They took our magic.
They tried to bury us.
Now we rise.
Zelie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orisha 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 killed, leaving Zelie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now Zelie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zelie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orisha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zelie herself as she struggles to control her powers and her growing feelings for an enemy.
