The second book in the fast-paced, witty, and big-hearted debut afrofantasy trilogy that began with Adia Kelbara and the Circle of Shamans. Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and The School for Good and Evil!

Adia Kelbara may have defeated the power-hungry god Olark and saved Zaria, but now she must face something even more terrifying: her first semester as a student at the Academy of Shamans. As her abilities are tested during orientation, a mysterious affliction causes everyone except for Adia and Thyme to pass out—and a reanimated corpse appears with a horrifying message for Adia.As if that wasn’t bad enough, Emperor Darian sends news that the same phenomenon is happening across the kingdom, and that someone is siphoning energy from the living to resurrect corpses, creating cracks between the realms of the living and the dead.Now it will be up to Adia to push her magical abilities to the limit and journey to the tomb of the ancient High Queen in search of answers and a cure for the sleeping sickness besieging Zaria. But rising corpses aren’t the only threats that stand in her way—a new enemy looms, and if Adia can’t defeat them, Zaria may soon become another realm of the dead.
