Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Tomi Adeyemi's bold YA fantasy debut is thrilling and deftly written. Zélie was born with latent magical ability in a country where the king has all but eradicated it. Now she, her brother Tzain, and Princess Amari must restore magic to their people before the princess's brother can finish what their father started, and wipe all magic—and its users—from the kingdom for good.
