Tomi Adeyemi – författare

Den efterlängtade sista delen i Tomi Adeyemis banbrytande fantasyserie!  

När Zélie stormade det kungliga palatset den där ödesdigra natten trodde hon att striderna var över. Monarkin hade äntligen störtats. Majierna hade återtagit makten. Inte hade hon kunnat ana att hon skulle spärras in i en bur på ett främmande skepp, tillfångatagen av krigare med bronsmasker som för henne och hennes folk över havet, långt bort från sitt hemland.

Sedan träffar Zélie kung Baldyr, härskare över Skallarna, som är beredd att lägga hela civilisationer i ruiner i sin jakt efter världsherravälde. Baldyrs försök att ta Zélies krafter i besittning tvingar henne, Amari, Inan och Tzain att söka efter allierade i okända länder.

Men Baldyr är dem ständigt hack i häl och en katastrof hotar Orïsha. Zélie måste ta upp kampen mot sin slutgiltiga fiende och rädda sitt folk innan Skallarna utplånar dem för gott.

Världsuccén nu i pocket!

Zélie Adebola minns hur det var när Orïsha var ett land som sjöd av magi. Det fanns i varje träd, varje eldsflamma och varje våg. Så är det inte längre. Under en hänsynslös kungs styre har både magin och människorna som kunde kontrollera den utplånats. Det har lämnat Zélie föräldralös och hennes folk utan hopp.

Men Zélie har en chans att slå tillbaka mot monarkin och göra Orïsha till ett magiskt land igen. Tillsammans med den förrymda prinsessan Amari måste Zélie övervinna den lömska kronprinsen, som är fast besluten att förinta magin för gott. Men Zélie ställs inför oväntade svårigheter när hon kämpar för att ta kontroll över sina egna krafter och över hur hon egentligen känner för fienden.

"Författaren målar upp en helt fantastisk berättelse som både känns, doftar och smakar. Den mytologiska värld som hela tiden finns i bakgrunden är färgstark och kraftfull, miljöerna är detaljerade och beskrivningarna av de magiska inslagen riktigt sprakar." Ulrica Lejbro, Kulturkollo

Den hisnande fortsättningen på Tomi Adeyemis banbrytande fantasyroman Children of blood and bone: Solstenen!

Efter att ha lyckats med det omöjliga har Zélie och Amari till slut återfört magin till landet Orïsha. Men effekterna av ritualen de utförde blev större än de kunnat ana, och krafterna återkommer inte bara till majierna utan också till kungligheterna.

Zélie kämpar för att ena majierna i ett Orïsha där deras motståndare är precis lika starka och besitter samma magiska förmågor som de. När fienden går samman för att upprätthålla kontrollen över Orïsha måste Zélie kämpa för Amaris rätt till tronen och för att skydda majierna från monarkins ursinne.

Med ett annalkande inbördeskrig hägrande i horisonten finner sig Zélie vid en brytpunkt: hon måste hitta ett sätt att ena kungariket innan det är för sent.

Tala om cliffhanger! Upproret är en fin och gripande del i trilogin.Kerstin Hagstrand-Velicu, BTJ
