Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Children of Virtue and Vengeance

by

Tomi Adeyemi

The elder of the Connector clan. She has coiled white hair and a scar across her eye, and she’s a few years older than Zélie and Amari. Amari recognizes her as the maji who snarled at her when Amari first tried to announce her claim to the throne. Ramaya is openly disdainful and threatening toward Amari and is the clear leader of the elders, so she encourages most other elders to treat Amari with the same cruel disdain. She’s disinterested in diplomacy and believes that the only way forward is to murder Inan and Nehanda. Her treatment of Amari culminates in Amari challenging her to be the Connector clan elder. Amari wins, but she loses control of her magic and puts Ramaya in a coma for the rest of the novel.

“If you’re going to be an elder, you need to understand that true magic isn’t about power,” I explain. “It’s something that’s a part of us, something that’s literally in our blood. Our people have suffered for this. Died for this. It’s not something you can just learn. You may have helped us get it back, but right now we’re still being hunted and killed for the very magic tîtáns like you use against us.”
