Children of Anguish and Anarchy

Zélie thought the fighting was finished. The monarchy of Orïsha has fallen and the maji have returned to power. Then she wakes in a cage, shipped across the sea by warriors in iron skull masks, far from everything she knows.

The man behind her capture is King Baldyr, ruler of the Skulls. He has ruined whole civilizations while hunting for the magic she carries, and she is now in his reach.

Zélie is joined by Amari and Tzain in lands none of them know. They look for allies who might stand against Baldyr, while the Blood Moon draws closer and the threat to Orïsha's shores grows nearer.

This is the third and final book in the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy, following Children of Blood and Bone and Children of Virtue and Vengeance. It is fantasy with a fast start, set largely overseas, and it brings the trilogy's story to a close. The question it turns on is whether Zélie can gather enough strength before Baldyr's reach arrives at home.
