Tracy Deonn

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. 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. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Legendborn

The powerful sequel to the instant New York Times bestselling and award-winning Legendborn—perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Margaret Rogerson! The shadows have risen, and the line is law.All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights—only to discover her own ancestral power. Now, Bree has become someone new: A Medium. A Bloodcrafter. A Scion. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped. Bree wants to fight, but the Regents who rule the Order won’t let her. To them, she is an unknown girl with unheard-of power, and as the living anchor for the spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, she must be protected. When the Regents reveal they will do whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere, Bree’s powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can’t escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect Nick until death. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the ancestors who wielded them first—without losing herself in the process.

Teď se však válka mezi démony a řádem blíží ke smrtícímu vrcholu a mýtonoš Nick, do kterého se Bree zamilovala, byl unesen. Dokáže ho Bree najít? Odolá přitažlivosti, kterou cítí k mágu Selwynovi? A podaří se jí všechny zachránit, aniž by ztratila sama sebe?

At Midnight: 15 Beloved Fairy Tales Reimagined

Bloodmarked è l’attesissimo seguito di Legendborn: Bree e i cavalieri Leggendari tornano a combattere contro le forze del male in questo secondo imperdibile volume della trilogia fantasy bestseller di Tracy Deonn. Intenzionata a scoprire la verità sulla morte della madre, Bree si è infiltrata nell’Ordine della Tavola Rotonda, una società segreta dell’Università della Carolina del Nord legata ai cavalieri di re Artù. Ha però scoperto molto più del previsto: è dotata di grandi poteri, che ha ereditato dai suoi antenati. Nel mentre, l’antico conflitto fra i Leggendari e le forze demoniache degli Oscuri si è aggravato e Nick, il ragazzo a capo dell’Ordine, di cui Bree si è innamorata, è stato rapito. I potenti a capo della società segreta sono pronti a tutto pur di nascondere questa guerra magica al resto del mondo e, come se non bastasse, non approvano il nuovo ruolo che Bree è chiamata a ricoprire grazie al suo lignaggio. Bree e i suoi amici dovranno quindi cercare Nick contando solo sulle proprie forze. I nemici sono ovunque, i poteri che Bree ha appena scoperto di possedere sono ancora troppo instabili e pericolosi, e la ragazza non può fare a meno di provare una crescente attrazione per Selwyn, il mago che ha giurato di proteggere Nick fino alla morte. Dopo le straordinarie rivelazioni sulla sua vera identità, è giunto il momento per Bree di imparare a gestire i suoi poteri. Se c’è ancora una speranza di salvare coloro che ama, Bree dovrà capire chi è veramente e fino a che punto può spingersi, mentre il conflitto con gli Oscuri si fa sempre più minaccioso... «Il degno seguito di un esordio esplosivo». «Kirkus Reviews» «Bloodmarked eccelle nel superare gli standard del fantasy young adult e della narrazione sul viaggio dell’eroe, portando avanti l’azione e introducendo altre leggende, senza rallentare il percorso verso il prossimo volume». «Usa Today» «Amo la sensazione che esista un mondo magico immediatamente sotto la superficie del reale, e questa storia mi ha regalato tutto ciò che potessi desiderare: personaggi incredibili, antiche leggende e società segrete; il tutto incastonato nel nostro mondo, totalmente reale e assolutamente imperfetto». Leigh Bardugo
