About this audiobook
Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Erivo narrates Tomi Adeyemi’s long-awaited conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series.
New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.
Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands.
But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Editor's Note
Explosive conclusion…
Expansive world-building and hints of romance set the stage for this explosive conclusion to Adeyemi’s West African-inspired “Legacy of Orïsha” series (following “Children of Blood and Bone” and “Children of Virtue and Vengeance”). The maji’s triumph over the monarchy is short-lived when invaders known as the Skulls, led by the ruthless King Baldyr, capture Zélie, Amari, and others to harness their magic. Enemies must become allies to defeat the Skulls and reclaim Orïsha before it’s too late, with Zélie leading the charge.
