Children Of Blood And Bone

Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut Children of Blood and Bone. They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise. Z*lie remembers when the soil of Or*sha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Z*lie's Reaper mother summoning forth souls.

But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Z*lie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden. Z*lie is one such person.

Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Z*lie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good. Danger lurks in Or*sha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters.

Yet the greatest danger may be Z*lie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy. The movie of Children 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 Fault In Our Stars) producing it.
