Blood Scion (Exclusive OwlCrate Edition)

Sloane is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods, and her identity being discovered could mean her death. In this emotionally charged debut novel inspired by Yoruba-Nigerian mythology, we follow one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge. 

About: 
Fifteen-year-old Sloane, a Scion with the power to incinerate enemies, must hide her identity under the brutal rule of the Lucis, who would kill her if her abilities were discovered. On her fifteenth birthday, she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army, presenting her with an unexpected opportunity to infiltrate and dismantle the regime from within. As Sloane navigates the bloody challenges of Lucis training and rises through the ranks, she gains strength but risks losing herself and becoming the very monster she despises.
