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 and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. The ruler of the Skulls, Baldyr's quest to harness Zélie's strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in foreign 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.

Adeyemi's lush world-building and consummate plotting breathes new life into a YA fantasy epic. Observer on Children of Blood and Bone

A Children's Book Council Librarian Favorites Award Grades 9-12 Selection

"Brutal and unrelenting in its battle scenes, Anguish and Anarchy isn't for the faint of heart, but with a closer look at the story behind every weapon, ritual and type of magic wielded, readers will find there is more than meets the eye when it comes to how and with what tools we choose to fight our battles . . . Overall, a marvel of a final installment, Children of Anguish and Anarchy begs readers to start again-just to cherish all that Orïsha has accomplished." -Booklist, starred review
