Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orïsha, #1)

by Tomi Adeyemi

I want to scream, to break every bone in his body, but with each second I wither. His touch erases everything I am, everything I’ve fought so hard to become.

“They don’t hate you, my child. They hate what you were meant to become.”

Over generations, love of the maji turned into fear. Fear turned into hate. Hate transformed into violence, a desire to wipe the maji away.”

“One day magic breathed. The next, it died.”
