The Blerdy Reader, seeing your excitement is soooooooo nourishing for the Sistah Scifi Team (like literally manna for the soul!)

The Sistah Scifi preorder campaign for Children of Anguish and Anarchy was our biggest campaign in our five year history by a factor of 2.5x, outpacing award winning titles like The World we Make by NK Jemisin and Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse because we didn't ask for enough bookplates from Nora and Rebecca. Sistah Scifi Siblings started pre-ordering Children of Anguish and Anarchy and the Legacy of the Orishas Trilogy from us in February!!!!

Before that, we spent MONTHS begging Tomi's publicist at Macmillan for signed bookplates and an in person event with @CityArtsandLectures. Macmillan declined an in person event. We just want to note that we probably would have sold 1500 additonal copies of Children of Anguish and Anarchy based on the reception of @JanelleMonae's The Memory Librarian.

However, Macmillan did agree to send 500 limited edition bookplates signed by Tomi Adeyemi (swipe to see Tomi signing 500 bookplates!), 25 double sided prints, and 25 Children of Anguish and Anarchy bookmarks. We distributed the prints and books marks randomly in our inventory. And, no, we do not have any more of either the prints or bookmarks. Sorry!

We are currently sold out out of Children of Anguish and Anarchy, but will have more in stock latest by August 1st. Join our email list for updates. We DO have *ten* sets of the Legacy of the Orisha trilogy in stock.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for rocking with us.

Y'all are absolutely, 💯, pure magic ✨️ 🌟 ✨️

📖 Children of Anguish and Anarchy (Legacy of Orisha #3) by Tomi Adeyemi

When I tell you that I ran into the house to see if my copy of Children of Anguish and Anarchy had been delivered. The level of excitement felt when I saw the purple package from @sistahscifi just waiting for me!! <Squeals with excitement and does a happy dance. 💃🏽 >

I’m soooo pleased with this edition. Sistah Scifi always has the absolute BEST service. I’m gushing over this special edition. The cover and spine design are gorgeous. Not to mention all the little extras and the signed bookplate. I can not wait to start reading!

The wait is almost over! Children of Anguish and Anarchy: Book 3 of Legacy of Orisha Series By @Tomi Adeyemi releases this Tuesday, June 25th! @Sistahscifi | https://sistahscifi.com/products/children-of-anguish-and-anarchy-legacy-of-orisha-3

Children of Anguish and Anarchy features gorgeous designed edges, dazzling metallic foil designs on the jacket and case, and an exclusive endpaper map that reveals new unexplored territories, Tomi Adeyemi’s #1 New York Times-bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series comes to an earth-shaking conclusion.

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 fast-paced, excellently crafted hero's journey…populated with compelling and nuanced black characters.” – @NPR

“A debut novel that is nearly impossible to put down.”– @USAToday

“Adeyemi’s writing is beautiful and immersive.” – @Tordotcompub

The wait is almost over!!!

You can now preorder the *SIGNED* Legacy of Orisha Boxed Set by @TomiAdeyemi! The box set includes:

📚Children of Blood and Bone They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise. Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.

https://sistahscifi.com/products/children-of-blood-and-bone-book-1

📚Children of Virtue and Vengance After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could've imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji, but of nobles with magic ancestry, too. Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.

Sistah Scifi Siblings learned of the development via email blast yesterday, and lemme tell you, the readers are excited!

Praise for Children of Blood and Bone "Adeyemi’s devastating debut is a brutal, beautiful tale of revolution, faith, and star-crossed love." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Praise for Children of Virtue and Vengeance “Electrifying . . . With this second book Adeyemi brings a new maturity and depth to the series. Her characters are no longer underdogs on a hero’s journey to return magic—now they are leaders who are suffering from the consequences and trauma of their previous quest.” —The New York Times
