Legendborn

Briana has been through a lot. After suffering a tragic personal loss she starts early college at her dream school, UNC. She quickly discovers, though, everything is not as it seems. In a true remixing of the King Arthur legend, Briana is thrown into a fascinating world of demons, magic, first romance, and friendship. From Bree's first encounter with the supernatural, to her discovery of the true power that lives within her, I was hooked! I literally read the last pages of the book standing up, I was so excited!

This story is SO unique and Tracy Deonn situates it firmly in the contemporary American South.
Bree deals with everything from fighting demons to secret societies and systemic racism. I love that Deonn did not shy away from these realities and the book was stronger for it. If you love stories about magic, strong, complex characters, and/or secret societies, you will LOVE this. HIGHLY recommend! 1000 stars!
