Simi prayed to the gods, once. Now she serves them as Mami Wata—a mermaid—collecting the souls of those who die at sea and blessing their journeys back home. But when a living boy is thrown overboard, Simi goes against an ancient decree and does the unthinkable—she saves his life. And punishment awaits those who dare to defy the gods.

Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.

Historia
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Resumen del Editor
Winner of the Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year
This program is narrated by acclaimed reader Bahni Turpin, whose past work includes The Hate U Give and The Underground Railroad
"Bahni Turpin's breathtaking narration of this exhilarating novel will keep listeners rooted to their seats, listening intently...an audiobook not to be missed." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)
In Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut.
They killed my mother.
They took our magic.
They tried to bury us.
Now we rise.
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers - and her growing feelings for an enemy.
Praise for Children of Blood and Bone:
"[Narrator Bahni Turpin] excels at customizing her voice to capture the unique personalities of each character.... This excellent, refreshing performance of Adeyemi's exciting debut is recommended for all collections where fantasy is popular." (Booklist, starred review)
"One of the biggest young adult fiction debut book deals of the year. Aside from a compelling plot and a strong-willed heroine as the protagonist, the book deals with larger themes, like race and power, that are being discussed in real time." (Teen Vogue)

Everfair is a wonderful neo-Victorian alternate history novel that explores the question of what might have come of Belgium's disastrous colonization of the Congo if the native populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier. Fabian Socialists from Great Britian join forces with African American missionaries to purchase land from the Belgian Congo's "owner", King Leopold II. This land, named Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven, an imaginary utopia for native populations of the Congo, as well as escaped slaves returning from America.

ended abruptly. Feel like missing some story
build up towards the climax was too slow and it was too far towards the end of the book. The book felt like it abruptly ended without any resolution

Powerful writing. Beautiful Performance.
This book is absolutely amazing in its storytelling, in its original mythology, and in its humanity - an epic adventure that should not be missed!
The voices of the characters are so distinct and rich, I feel each one’s pain and joy. Tomi Adeyemi is a truly gifted author.
I can’t wait to experience the next book, and share these stories with my 8th-grade students!
And Bahni Turpin! Gods!!! She is an incredible performer! She gave life to the characters in a way I don’t believe anyone else could have. The melody of her reading still hums in my mind. Thank you!

This book is amazing!
You cannot read this book with recognizing these parallels to Black people all over the world. Indigenous people and cultures brutalized, erased, and oppressed; and yet still fighting for justice and still carrying hope in their hearts. Still carrying that innate music that resides in all of us. Beautiful book Toni, thank you.

Excellent!
This book was an excellent read. I did a marathon listen and finished in 4.5 days! The story kept me on the edge of my seat and awake many nights when I should have been preparing for work and going to sleep. The characters were well developed. The plot was strong. The ritual elements interwoven through the story were amazing. I felt a connection to the ancestors as I read it. I was inspired to look at the magic within myself and my own connection to spirit. The author created a believable fantasy landscape. The book also showed the complexity of the human spirit and its ability to love fiercely and hate all at the same time.
The narrator was also excellent. Listening to the different accents was entertaining. Her voiced submerged me into the story. I will be relistening again and again. This book is a keeper!

i have long desired to read African based stories that are based on the spiritual history of that vast land. I hope this fanstistic tale inspires more work of art focusing on the many and
great cultures within Africa.
