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

and secret societies - all grounded in our very real, very flawed
