A New York Times bestseller!
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.
I expected nothing short of awesome from Marie Lu! Legend is a gripping story from two POVs: Day, the most wanted criminal in the country, and June, who works with her brother for the Republic, the government on the side of mankind fighting off a deadly plague. The weaving of June and Day's stories was seamless, and Marie's plots always have me gripping the edge of my seat in anticipation! I couldn't predict what would happen. I flew through this book and am ready to dive into Book 2!!
