In the West African-inspired kingdom of Orïsha, the king has slaughtered the maji and stripped magic from the land, leaving the diviners — those with magic potential — as a persecuted underclass. When Zélie Adebola, a young diviner whose mother was killed in the purge, encounters Princess Amari fleeing the palace with a stolen magical scroll, the two embark on a desperate quest to perform an ancient ritual and restore magic before it is lost forever. Hunting them is Crown Prince Inan, who is torn between his father's brutal ideology and his own suppressed magical nature — and an unexpected connection to Zélie that neither of them can deny.
