About this listen
"I love the feeling of a magical world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore and secret societies – all grounded in our very real, very flawed world . . ." –Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone
An explosive fantasy debut that is taking TikTok by storm. Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!
Filled with mystery and Southern Black Girl Magic, Tracy Deonn’s New York Times bestselling Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend . . .
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants to escape. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers seems like the perfect opportunity – until she witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus . . .
A flying demon feeding on human energies.
A secret society of so-called “Legendborn” that hunt the creatures down.
A mysterious 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 about her mother. Now Bree will do whatever it takes to discover the truth, even infiltrate the Legendborn. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and foretell a magical war, Bree must decide how far she’ll go for the truth. Should she use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight?

wow
I’m not one to write reviews usually, but wow this book was incredible. The world and characters the author created are so rich. I especially want to highlight the narrator’s performance, which I can’t praise enough! Highly recommend :)

fantastic authorial legend meets African mythology with a modern twist
Brilliant story!
Has arthurian legend meets African mythology in a modern world that explores themes of racism, inclusion (LGBTQA+) and brings in negative history against people of colour, and how that impacts today.
With a strong storyline and likeable and hat able characters and a few unexpected twists.
Brilliantly written and reflects hard hitting aspects of the real world within the fantasy narratives. I fell in love with many of the characters as I read the book.

loved the ending
loved the ending but it took too long to get there as if it was setting the scene for an epic series and great 2nd book but as a 1st book and standalone only the last quarter of it was great that I couldn't stop listening.
