After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could've imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji, but of nobles with magic ancestry, too.

Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.

With civil war looming on the horizon, Zélie finds herself at a breaking point: she must discover a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orïsha tears itself apart.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the stunning sequel to Tomi Adeyemi's New York Times bestselling debut Children of Blood and Bone, the first title in her Legacy of Orïsha trilogy.



Believe the Hype!

Author Tomi Adeyemi

Author, and awesome San Diego local, who has been a great friend to the Imperial Beach Library (and to the San Diego community in general) Tomi Adeyemi kicked the publishing doors down in 2017 with Children of Blood and Bone, winning all the awards, getting voted on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as their first Summer Book Club selection. CBB was a BIG deal.

Much is expected from the LONG awaited sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengeance- Good Morning America's Book Club selection anyone?!!

Cannot wait to find out what has happened to the land of Oriisha now that magic isn't going to be taboo in the same way as it was before- when more people have it, public opinion will change- fear will grow, but so will corruption, anarchy, as well as the possibility for greatness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world where magic has disappeared and magis, once revered, are targeted by a ruthless king, Zélie has always feared she would share the fate of her mother, killed at the hands of the king’s guards when Zélie was just a child.

Now, at seventeen, Zélie has a chance to bring magic back to the land of Orïsha. With the help of her brother Tzain and the fugitive Crown Princess Amari, she sets off on a journey to restore her people’s magical abilities. In order to succeed, they’ll have to outwit and outrun Prince Inan, who is hell-bent on ridding the world of magic.

In the face of danger, death, and a star-crossed romance, Zélie must grapple with the ramifications of bringing magic back to her people -- and come to terms with her own powers.
