滅我族人 毀我魔法 奪我母親性命！ 
我會回來的！！

在非洲Orïsha的Maji族，擁有與生俱來的魔法。Zélie是族內一位帶有戰士血脈的女孩，有點衝動，有點頑強，戰鬥力滿滿。
在一次大屠殺中，Zélie的媽媽失去性命，族人的魔法消失，族裡的孩童也被殘忍埋葬…。

幸好Zélie活了下來，誓言找回失去的魔法和族人尊嚴，於是她找上具有恢復魔法的能力的Amari公主—暴政者的女兒，對父親的深感痛恨，從王國逃出。
Amari的哥哥Inan，遵從父命，率領軍隊阻止Zélie找回魔法，他會放過妹妹嗎？Zélie能成功找回魔法嗎？

Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut, 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.
