We are thrilled to announce our August book club selection: “Children of Anguish and Anarchy” by the acclaimed author Tomi Adeyemi. This gripping sequel in the Legacy of Orïsha series promises to be a captivating read, filled with magic, conflict, and rich cultural heritage.
About the Book: “Children of Anguish and Anarchy” continues the riveting saga of Zélie and Amari as they battle to bring magic back to the land of Orïsha while confronting political turmoil and personal demons. Adeyemi masterfully blends elements of West African mythology with epic fantasy, creating a world rich with culture, magic, and conflict. New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
When Zelie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland. Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands. But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.
