A KING With a score to settle A DEMON Driven to rebel A GIRL Who
holds the power of the gods Arrah has sacrificed almost everything
in her battle with the Demon King. Now, forced to give up the gift
of magic she’d sought for so long, she has finally found the
survivors of the demons’ attack on the tribal lands. But when she
arrives without the power of the chieftain’s kas to protect them,
the new tribal leaders are suspicious of Arrah’s motives, and her
unmistakable connection to the Demon King. While her heart is loyal
to Rudjek, Arrah cannot deny that her soul is bound to Daho –
through her past life as the orisha Dimma, the years they spent
together, and the child the orishas destroyed. And as the ruthless
Efiya regains her strength and begins to sow rebellion in the
demons’ ranks, Arrah, the Demon King and the orishas must form
and uneasy alliance to restore peace to their worlds. But peace may
require the ultimate sacrifice… The epic conclusion to the
fantasy trilogy set in a world of magic and legend. Perfect for
fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Laini Taylor and Sarah J Maas.
In this highly anticipated contemporary fantasy, twelve-year-old
Maya's search for her missing father puts her at the center of a
battle between our world, the Orishas, and the mysterious and
sinister Dark world. Perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End of
Time and The Serpent's Secret. Twelve-year-old Maya is the only one
in her South Side Chicago neighborhood who witnesses weird
occurrences like werehyenas stalking the streets at night and a
scary man made of shadows plaguing her dreams. Her friends try to
find an explanation-perhaps a ghost uprising or a lunchroom
experiment gone awry. But to Maya, it sounds like something from
one of Papa's stories or her favorite comics. When Papa goes
missing, Maya is thrust into a world both strange and familiar as
she uncovers the truth. Her father is the guardian of the veil
between our world and the Dark-where an army led by the Lord of
Shadows, the man from Maya's nightmares, awaits. Maya herself is a
godling, half orisha and half human, and her neighborhood is a safe
haven. But now that the veil is failing, the Lord of Shadows is
determined to destroy the human world and it's up to Maya to stop
him. She just hopes she can do it in time to attend Comic-Con
before summer's over.
In the thrilling third and final book in the acclaimed Maya and the
Rising Dark trilogy that Kirkus calls "truly #BlackGirlMagic," Maya
must face off with the Lord of Shadows to save the human world from
impending war with the Dark. War is coming. Despite everything Maya
and her father have done, the veil that protects the human world is
failing. The Lord of Shadows has raised an army powerful enough to
challenge the orishas. And it’s only a matter of time before he
breaks through the veil and destroys Maya’s neighborhood and the
rest of the world. Maya and her friends aren’t going down without
a fight. She’s honing her guardian powers, with the help of two
new allies—her long lost guardian sister and a mysterious
darkbringer (who might be a double agent). But when an attack hits
close to home, Maya doesn’t have any more time to prepare. She
must face the Lord of Shadows or risk losing everything. With her
friends—Eli, Frankie, Zeran, and Eleni—by her side, Maya leads
the charge in an epic showdown that takes her across worlds and to
the edge of the universe. Will she succeed or will Darkness
prevail, once and for all?
In this highly anticipated sequel, Maya and the godlings must
return to the sinister world of The Dark to retrieve the one thing
keeping the veil between the worlds from crumbling: her father's
soul. Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky
and Willa of the Wood. The threat from The Dark is far from over.
Twelve-year-old Maya knows this. After crossing the veil between
the two worlds, saving her father, and narrowly escaping the
sinister clutches of the Lord of Shadows, tensions between the
human world and The Dark are higher than ever. And even worse,
Maya's orisha powers as a godling are out of control. Now a
guardian in training, Maya spends her days patching up veils with
her father and cleaning up near-disasters like baby wormholes that
her erratic powers create. But when Maya and her friends discover
that something went terribly wrong during their journey to bring
her father back to the human world, they are forced to return to
The Dark and restore what they left behind, the one thing keeping
the veil from falling: her father's soul. The Lord of Shadows is
mobilizing his forces for an all-out war against the human world.
And this time, Maya and her friends will need all the help they can
get. Even if that means teaming up with their greatest enemies, the
darkbringers.
Explosive fantasy set in a West African world of magic and legend,
where one girl must sacrifice her life, year by year, to gain the
power necessary to live up to the expectations of the mother she
has never been good enough for. Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas,
Tomi Adeyemi and Black Panther There's magic in her blood. Arrah is
a young woman from a long line of the most powerful witch doctors
in the land. But she fails at magic, fails to call upon the
ancestors and can't even cast the simplest curse. Shame and
disappointment dog her. When strange premonitions befall her family
and children in the kingdom begin to disappear, Arrah undergoes the
dangerous and scorned process of selling years of her life for
magic. This borrowed power reveals a nightmarish betrayal and a
danger beyond what she could have imagined. Now Arrah must find a
way to master magic, or at least buy it, in order to save herself
and everything she holds dear.
Before, Arrah was shamed by having no magic at all. Now, with
