In a world where magic has been brutally suppressed, a young woman named Zélie Adebola, played by Amandla Stenberg, carries the grief of a mother lost to the king's purge and the fading hope of her people, the maji. When a chance encounter with a rogue princess, Anya Taylor-Joy as Amari, delivers a sacred artifact that can restore magic to the land, Zélie sees a path to reclaim her legacy. Pursued by the fanatical crown prince, portrayed by Jordan Bolger, who is determined to finish his father's genocidal work, the unlikely trio embarks on a perilous race across the kingdom of Orïsha. This epic fantasy, pulsating with the vibrant spirit of West African mythology, weaves a tale of fierce rebellion, staggering sacrifice, and the explosive power of awakening one's true self. As ancient deities stir and loyalties fracture, Zélie must master her own burgeoning abilities to ignite a revolution that will forever change the fate of the divîners and the maji.
