“BLOOD, IRON & FIRE: YA FANTASY AUTHORS ON STRUGGLE, SECRETS & FAMILY”
Follow the conclusion of TOMI ADEYEMI’s Legacy of Orïsha series with Children of Anguish and Anarchy, in which Zélie overcomes insurmountable odds, stops the conquest of her people, and defies capture by the merciless King Baldyr. The Lightlark trilogy by ALEX ASTER introduces its third showstopping installment with Skyshade, in which Isla Crown’s shattered heart is torn between her love for the ruler of Nightshade and wanting to save Lightlark and its king. In ROMINA GARBER’s Castle of the Cursed, all is not as it seems as Estela loses her parents and travels to her family’s mysterious ancestral Spanish castle, only to find that every question answered seems to make two more grow in its place. And in LADARRION WILLIAMS’ debut novel, Blood at the Root, Malik is blessed – or cursed – with magic powers he has had to keep secret since his mother disappeared. At Caiman University, an HBCU for the young, Black, and magical, he will unearth secrets about his mother, his heritage, and buried mysteries dating back to the Haitian Revolution.
