A note for parents

This is the third book in Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone series, featuring intense fantasy violence, slavery, war, and morally complex themes around colonization and resistance. The story deals with trauma, captivity, and high-stakes conflict with significant character death and suffering. While it offers strong messages about courage, resistance, and leadership, the dark tone and mature content make it most suitable for older teens who have read the previous books.

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.
