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

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
