If you loved following Malik’s high-stakes quest and Karina's desperate mission in A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, you'll be swept up by Tarisai’s journey in Raybearer. Both books center on young characters facing deadly trials, palace dangers, and the weight of impossible goals, all while their choices could change the fate of their worlds.

Children Of Blood And Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
The lush, detailed world of Ziran in A Song of Wraiths and Ruin is matched by the magic-infused Orïsha in Children of Blood and Bone.

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
