The seaside temple town of Puri, which lay directly in the path of Fani in India's eastern Orisha state, sustained extensive damage on Friday.

Children of Blood and Bone: Legacy of Orisha, Book 1.

Set in the fictional kingdom of Orisha, it sees teenager Zelie embark on a quest to bring magic back to her land after the harrowing genocide of her people by oppressive ruler, King Saran.

When their magic fully manifests, diviners can become maji--but that was before the cruel king of Orisha ordered an anti-magic raid that killed Zelie's mother.

Queen B is actually channeling the African Orisha Goddess Oshun that stems from the Yoruba culture of Yorubaland.

In the rich tradition of Lukumi divination, Orisha devotees are often advised to be careful with their words.

But Tales of the Orisha: Myth, Legend & Lore is a special event that delves deep into the West African, specifically Yoruba present as well as its heritage, and the ongoing spiritual relevance of its deities, the Orisha.

Definitely a book for those who like Southern Gothic literature with a touch of Orisha spirits.
