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

Wikus Lombaard is 'n nice ou. Hy is kaptein van die eerste
rugbyspan en met sy dodelike skopskoen het hy sy span al meermale
uit die verknorsing gered. En sy meisie, Marissa, is die mooiste in
die skool. En al sukkel Wikus nou so 'n bietjie met die wiskunde,
is dit ook nie die ergste nie. Met Marissa by hom en die rugby wat
voorle, is dinge doodreg – hy weet mos immers waaroor dit gaan in
die lewe, veral noudat hy in die vakansie met sy suster se vriendin
gevry het – behoorlik gevry. All-the-way. Maar in hierdie laaste
skooljaar van hom, kort voor sy deelname aan die Cravenweek, loop
dinge skeef. Lelik skeef. Vir die eerste keer ontdek Wikus dat die
lewe ook reels het. En dat dit nie net in rugby is dat 'n ou van
die veld afgejaag kan word nie.
