Some legends are meant to be broken.
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 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:
The night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now,
Bree will do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that
means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.
But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King
Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree must
decide whether to take the society down—or join the fight.
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

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.
