De: Tracy Deonn

SPLINTERED BLOODLINES. UNBREAKABLE BARGAINS. A LEGACY OF BETRAYAL.

The powerful sequel to the instant New York Times bestselling and award-winning Legendborn that's taking TikTok by storm. Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!

The shadows have risen, and the line is law.

All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights – only to discover her own ancestral power. Now, Bree has become someone new:

A Medium. A Bloodcrafter. A Scion.

But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped.

When the Regents reveal they will do whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere, Bree’s own powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can’t escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect Nick until death.

If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the ancestors who wielded them first – without losing herself in the process.

Praise for Legendborn:
"I love the feeling of a magical world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore and secret societies – all grounded in our very real, very flawed world . . ." – Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone

"Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn braids southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power and self-discovery." – Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles

Enjoyed

It’s all over the place. Like 5 different books in one, an incredible amount of lore was introduced and added on so much so I wasn’t sure if it would be adequately tied back together. I still enjoyed it, both books ended my book slump. Hopefully the follow up books is tighter and more coherent. I just love this world and want it to succeed so much more.

Fresh, rebellious, empowering

I love a mythical story, and have read more than one. But this is so well told, balancing several ideas so harmoniously - you can read this for:
- myth
- grief
- growing up
- being black in southern US
- old Welsh vs modern Welsh
- female bonding
- male bonding
- team work
- blood lines, heritages, inherences
- found family
- BIPOC representation
- LGBTQIA+ representation
- university setting, academia
... and honestly, so. much. more.
