After this realization, she manages to infiltrate a secret society and uncovers a variety of secrets about herself, her mother and her ancestors. What begins as an attempt at feeling closer to her mother soon becomes hectic when Bree witnesses students fighting magical creatures at a party on campus.Īfter further investigation, Bree concludes that magic may have played a role in her mother’s death. She and her father agree that she should attend college early and Bree decides to enroll at her mother’s alma mater, UNC Chapel Hill. The first novel follows sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews as she navigates life after her mother’s tragic passing. Deonn released the sequel “Bloodmarked” in November 2022, which proved equally enthralling. 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.Suspense, romance, action and adventure were all elements of Tracy Deonn’s debut novel “Legendborn.” Released in September 2020, the book quickly gained popularity and made the bestseller list. 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. 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.
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. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a "Merlin" and who attempts-and fails-to wipe Bree's memory of everything she saw. A secret society of so called "Legendborn" students that hunt the creatures down. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC-Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape-until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus. After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home.
