Cover Reveal: Tomi Adeyemi's 'Children of Blood'
.... because I unapologetically judge books by their covers, here is the cover of Tomi Adeyemi's debut YA fantasy novel, Children of Blood and Bones courtesy of Teen Vogue. Isn't it lovely? It's designed by children's book illustrator and designer, Rich Deas. Book one of the trilogy is not out until March 6 2018. Can't wait!!!! The seven-figure deal for Adeyemi's fantasy trilogy also includes a movie deal with Fox 2000. So doubly can't wait!!!
In Children of Blood and Bones:
Zélie Adebola remembers remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the enemy.
