Actor Michael B. Jordan’s production company, Outlier Society, and Warner Brothers, have acquired fantasy novel Kingdom of Souls for movie adaptation.
Magic has a price—if you’re willing to pay.
Born into a family of powerful witchdoctors, Arrah yearns for magic of her own. But each year she fails to call forth her ancestral powers, while her ambitious mother watches with growing disapproval.
There’s only one thing Arrah hasn’t tried, a deadly last resort: trading years of her own life for scraps of magic. Until the Kingdom’s children begin to disappear, and Arrah is desperate to find the culprit.
She uncovers something worse. The long-imprisoned Demon King is stirring. And if he rises, his hunger for souls will bring the world to its knees… unless Arrah pays the price for the magic to stop him.
The novel by Rena Barron is the first in a planned trilogy. Jordan is also producing the film along with Alana Mayo (Gen: Lock) and Pouya Shahbazian (Divergent series, Love, Simon, Shadow and Bone). Misan Sagay is attached to write the screenplay. Sagay previous credits include the screenplay for the films Belle and Their Eyes Were Watching God.
