What to expect
Enchantingly read by Cynthia Erivo.
The earth-shattering and magical epic finale to the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy by bestselling author Tomi Adeyemi, soon to be a major movie starring Cynthia Erivo!
Fans are loving Children of Anguish and Anarchy:
‘Love this series and highly recommend. I can't wait for the movie’
‘This book broke my heart and put it very slowly back together. I loved every heart-breaking moment and would suffer it all over again in a heartbeat’
‘My favorite book of the series . . . so hard to put down’
New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
When Zélie 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 and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. The ruler of the Skulls, Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in foreign 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.

Adeyemi could write a hundred books in this series and keep us just as gripped as we were in the first instalment. Astonishing.
