"After battling the impossible, Zâelie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orèisha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could have imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji but nobles with magic ancestry, too. Now Zâelie struggles to unite the maji in an Orèisha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. When the royals and the military forge a dangerous alliance, Zâelie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath. But with civil war looming, Zâelie finds herself at a breaking point: She must devise a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orèisha tears itself apart."--Provided by publisher.
