Children of Virtue and Vengeance
03 December 2019Synopsis
Full of magic and danger, Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the breathtaking sequel to Tomi Adeyemi's ground-breaking, bestselling West African-inspired fantasy Children of Blood and Bone.
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 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 . . .
Continue the mythical magic with the last in the trilogy, Children of Anguish and Anarchy.

Black Girl Magic indeed! . . . it storms the boundaries of imagination.The New York Times, on Children of Blood and Bone
Infused with rich mythology of west Africa, Adeyemi’s lush world-building and consummate plotting breathes new life into a YA fantasy epic. Themes of oppression and racism resonate all too strongly in today’s political climate. The cliffhanger ending may leave some readers reeling but, rest assured, this is first in a trilogy.Observer, on Children of Blood and Bone
