Publisher Description
Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Erivo narrates Tomi Adeyemi’s long-awaited conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series.
New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
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.

A long awaited journey
This trilogy is the type of reading I’ve been waiting for a long time. It’s the type of reading that takes you to that place and want to be those characters.
Overall great work
I miss Bahni Turpin’s narration, she was just phenomenal with the first two books. Cynthia Erivo did a great job with this though.
As usual, Tomi took my imagination on an incredible magical journey, introducing great characters and enchanting lands. I absolutely love the whirlwind of intense emotions I felt.
However, there were a lot of missing pieces. It was hard to see Zelie still suffering after everything. I expected to read about the monarchy and the maji making peace on their land. Orisha was hardly the setting for this book. Yeaaa…there was some sort of resolution but it seems weak. What happened to Roen?! Who betrayed them? What happened to the moonstone connection they had at the end of book 2?! The duration of travel along the seas seems shorter and shorter by the end of this book, even with magic.
The end left more uncertainty than closure. Overall, it is still worth the read.
It’s the End!!!!
Great story !!!
