The second book in the fast-paced and witty Afrofantasy series following twelve-year-old Adia Kelbara, who must ally with a snarky goddess and a knife-wielding warrior to save her kingdom once more.

Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and The School for Good and Evil!

Adia 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. But when a strange affliction starts making everyone except Adia, Thyme and Darian fall asleep and reanimated corpses start climbing out of the ground, Adia realises school is the least of her worries.

Someone is draining energy from the living to resurrect corpses, creating cracks between the realms of the living and the dead. Adia has to push her powers to the limit and travel to the tomb of the ancient High Queen in search of answers.

But rising corpses aren't the only thing in Adia's way - there's a new enemy out there, and if she can't defeat them, Zaria may soon become another realm of the dead.

"This book is incredible!" B.B. Alston, author of Amari and the Night Brothers.

"A spellbinding story of empowerment and liberation." Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series.

"SPECTACULAR...I absolutely LOVED it." Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs.
