From the searing heat of the desert to the vastness of the savannah, The Onyx Crown tells the story of three African children--Sania, Gesi, and Joran, who grow up in a pre-medieval era or wars and successions, fifteen years after the greatest king in the history of the continent has been deposed and assassinated.  They must overcome the traumatic circumstances of their birth as well as many dangerous trials to fulfill the destiny bestowed upon them as infants.  Can mere children use their courage, wits, and uncanny abilities to defeat legendary warriors, entire tribes, provinces, and kingdoms--allowing them to lead the worthy to the greatest prize of them all, the Onyx Crown?

Karyn doesn't believe in magic... until the day it comes for her. When four mysterious students arrive at Emerfield High, Karyn's haunting dreams vanish, and so does her best friend. They claim Karyn belongs to Wlerden, a kingdom that remembers her far more than she remembers it. To them, she was going to save a nation on the brink of ruin. To her, it was a chance to finally uncover the truth about her parents' murder, a truth someone had gone to deadly lengths to keep buried. And she took it. But Wlerden is a world fractured by power, and the past Karyn chases may destroy her before she can claim it. As her powers spiral beyond her control, she must survive the hunt of monsters and men, and decide if she's ready to become something more than a missing heir. Logic meets Magic in this lyrical, thrilling, and fiercely original debut about legacy, loss, and the price of truth.
