Tracy Deonn Libros

Llena de misterio y un sistema mágico intrigantemente rico, la fantasía contemporánea YA de Tracy Deonn reinventa la leyenda del Rey Arturo y "entrelaza las tradiciones populares sureñas y Black Girl Magic en una historia moderna y abrasadora de dolor, poder y autodescubrimiento" (Dhonielle Clayton, Autora superventas del New York Times de The Belles). Después de que su madre muere en un accidente, Bree Matthews, de dieciséis años, no quiere tener nada que ver con los recuerdos de su familia o el hogar de su infancia. Un programa residencial para estudiantes de secundaria brillantes en UNC-Chapel Hill parece el escape perfecto, hasta que Bree es testigo de un ataque mágico en su primera noche en el campus. Un demonio volador que se alimenta de energías humanas. Una sociedad secreta de los llamados estudiantes "Legendborn" que cazan a las criaturas. Y un misterioso mago adolescente que se hace llamar "Merlín" y que intenta, y falla, borrar de la memoria de Bree todo lo que vio. El fracaso del mago abre la magia única de Bree y un recuerdo enterrado con una conexión oculta: la noche en que murió su madre, otro Merlín estaba en el hospital. Ahora que Bree sabe que hay más sobre la muerte de su madre que el informe policial, hará lo que sea necesario para descubrir la verdad, incluso si eso significa infiltrarse en Legendborn como uno de sus iniciados. Ella recluta a Nick, un Legendborn autoexiliado con su propio rencor contra el grupo, y su asociación reticente los lleva más profundamente a los secretos de la sociedad, y más cerca el uno del otro. Pero cuando los Legendborn se revelan como los descendientes de los caballeros del Rey Arturo y explican que se avecina una guerra mágica, Bree tiene que decidir hasta dónde llegará por la verdad y si debe usar su magia para derrotar a la sociedad, o Únete a la pelea

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.

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.

In a world where ancient magic and dark forces collide, the protagonist finds themselves torn from their former identity as a Legendborn and bound to a monstrous entity. This gripping tale explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the struggle against overwhelming odds, as the character navigates their new reality while grappling with the consequences of their oath. As they confront both inner demons and external threats, the journey promises to challenge their beliefs and redefine their destiny.
