But the problem is the truth is much more complicated than Bree ever imagined, and her own family legacy links her to the very Order she’s trying to undermine. But despite that pledge, the Order has its own history of cruelty and injustice, whether through the violence of manipulating governments and systems to keep their own in power or through actual violence against individuals they view as threats-or as less than people.Īllied with Nick, an Order-bound Scion with whom Bree has an instant connection, Bree starts to uncover the secrets to her past. They have pledged to keep humanity safe until one day the war with the demons will be won. For years, the spirits of the knights have blessed their heirs with gifts of supernatural strength, speed, and magic to battle the demons that infiltrate the world. She discovers that the Order are the heirs to the knights of the Round Table, and King Arthur himself. She infiltrates the society, determined to find the truth about what happened to her mother, certain that vengeance will relieve her grief.

Early college student Bree, at sixteen, is searching for justice over her mother’s death, and when she starts to see magic, demons, and the hush-hush secret society battling them, she follows her gut. When Legendborn first hit shelves in 2020, author Tracy Deonn transported readers into a world of living Arthurian legend-but one fraught with the colonialism and privilege of that heritage.
