An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
"Deonn
writes...stories that humanize Black protagonists, like Bree, giving
them agency and a place to both fail and, ultimately, to ascend."
--Booklist (starred review)
The "worthy
successor to an explosive debut" (Kirkus Reviews)--the New York
Times bestselling and award-winning Legendborn--perfect for fans of
Cassandra Clare and Margaret Rogerson!
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.
Bree wants to fight,
but the Regents who rule the Order won't let her. To them, she is an
unknown girl with unheard-of power, and as the living anchor for the
spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, she must be protected.
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 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.
