Synopsis
Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn&’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape – until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A secret society of so called &“Legendborn&” students that hunt the creatures down. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a &“Merlin&” and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree&’s memory of everything she saw. The mage&’s failure unlocks Bree&’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there&’s more to her mother&’s death than what&’s on the police report, she&’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates. She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society&’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur&’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she&’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight.An explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo and Sarah J. Maas!
