In the shadowed halls of UNC–Chapel Hill, a world of magic and myth bleeds into the fabric of reality, ensnaring sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews in its dark weave just as she seeks to escape the grief of her mother's death. "Legendborn" by Tracy Deonn plunges readers into an enthralling saga where ancient legends of King Arthur's knights are reborn in a secret society of young warriors, the Legendborn, who wield magic to battle demonic forces. The night Bree witnesses a demonic attack and the failure of a young mage, dubbed a Merlin, to erase her memory, her life is forever altered. Her newfound magical abilities and a buried memory linking her mother's mysterious death to these clandestine guardians thrust Bree into a labyrinth of intrigue and hidden truths. Determined to unravel the connection between her mother's death and the Legendborn, Bree infiltrates their ranks, armed with only her wits and newfound powers. Alongside Nick, a renegade Legendborn with his own vendetta, Bree delves deeper into the society's arcane secrets, their partnership blossoming amidst the backdrop of an impending magical war. Deonn masterfully crafts a tale of power, betrayal, and identity, challenging Bree to confront the complexities of her heritage and the decision that could alter the course of her world: to destroy the Legendborn from within or join their storied ranks in the fight against unspeakable evil. "Legendborn" is not just a story of magic and conflict; it's a journey of self-discovery and the relentless pursuit of truth, no matter the cost.
