An instant #1 New York Times bestseller! “Deonn expertly weaves together a universe that both
shines a light on the pervasive nature of racism and also harnesses the complexity of Black
identity within this space. Deonn writes so much more than simple fantasies or Arthurian
retellings.” — 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.
