Overview
This two-book collection brings together the first two novels in Tomi Adeyemi's Legacy of Orisha series, a sweeping West African-inspired fantasy saga. In Children of Blood and Bone, magic has been outlawed and its wielders hunted, until Zelie Adebola finds a chance to bring it back and restore hope to her people. The sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, follows the fallout as restored magic reshapes the kingdom and tests old alliances. Together these brand new paperbacks deliver ferocious action, richly drawn characters, and a story about oppression, faith, family, and resistance that keeps readers turning pages.

About the Books
Tomi Adeyemi's Legacy of Orisha series reimagines West African mythology as the backbone of a gripping fantasy world under threat. In the kingdom of Orisha, the maji once commanded elemental magic tied to the gods, until a tyrannical king wiped that power away in a single violent night, leaving behind only white-haired diviners marked by a magic they can no longer use. Children of Blood and Bone follows Zelie Adebola, a young diviner who teams up with a rogue princess to complete a dangerous ritual and restore magic before the crown can finish what it started, forcing her to confront grief, prejudice, and a monarchy built on fear while testing the bonds of family and found family alike. Children of Virtue and Vengeance picks up in the immediate aftermath, as magic's return proves more complicated and dangerous than anyone expected, spreading to unexpected allies and enemies and threatening to tear the kingdom apart along new lines of power. Across both books, Adeyemi builds an immersive world of clans, gods, and ritual, layered over unmistakable real-world echoes of prejudice and state violence. Fans of richly built fantasy worlds, morally complex heroes, and high-stakes political intrigue will find both novels deliver constant momentum and a heroine worth rooting for. Together, this collection forms the essential foundation of one of YA fantasy's most talked-about series.
