(2) YA Amari, daughter of maji-persecuting King Saran, has stolen a magical scroll, which awakens divîner Zélie's latent maji power to command the dead. Joined by Zélie's brother Tzain and pursued by Amari's brother Inan, the young women set out to restore magic to the kingdom of Orïsha. References to Nigerian culture and geography give this fantasy a distinct flavor; impassioned prose evokes intense emotion.
