"Children of Blood and Bone” er en prisvindende afrikanskinspireret fantasy skrevet af Tomi Adeyemi. Engang osede Orisha af magi. Det var en tid, hvor havet rejste sig som bølger og ilden flammede levende op. Dengang hvor de var flere klaner, og hvor Zelies mor tilkaldte ånderne. "Children of Blood and Bone” er en fortælling om en verden af fare og mørk magi. Da magien forsvandt ændrede alting sig. Den nådesløse konge henrettede alle med magiske kræfter. De gjorde Zelie moderløs og folket trøstesløse. De få, der endnu var i live, og som mestrede magien måtte forblive i skjul. Det viser sig, at Zelie gemmer på kræfter, der måske kan redde hendes folk.
