Blood Scion

By: Deborah Falaye

Narrated by: Liz Femi

“Equal parts soaring fantasy, heart-pounding action, and bloody social commentary, Blood Scion is a triumph of a book.” —Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin

This is what they deserve.

They wanted me to be a monster.

I will be the worst monster they ever created.

Fifteen-year-old Sloane can incinerate an enemy at will—she is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods.

Under the Lucis’ brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within.

Following one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge, Deborah Falaye’s debut novel, inspired by Yoruba-Nigerian mythology, is a magnetic combination of Children of Blood and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes.

Powerful

Absolutely loved blood Scion, it was beautiful and emotional and kept me on the edge of my seat. The strength of salon was inspirable,And contagious. Can't wait to read the next book in this series Is around Of applause to the story line and the Author.

Phenomenal

This was such a brutal and excellent read . Did not see the “treason” coming omg . Can’t wait for book 2

Captivating

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. I hope it doesn't end there. I need to know where it goes from there.

Strong female character

I really liked the main character it was great way to talk about terrible realities many across the world are subjected to.

Good, but uncomfortable

This story was powerful but miserable. It’s not something I can casually recommend because what little light and hope there was was always squashed. Though I found Solange sympathetic, acknowledging that she was in a rough situation I could NEVER imagine facing, I can’t say she’s someone I admire or even like. She killed too many of her own people.
