    "description": "Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn\u2019s 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.\n\nAfter 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\u2013Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape\u2014until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.\n\nA flying demon feeding on human energies.\n\nA secret society of so called \u201cLegendborn\u201d students that hunt the creatures down.\n\nAnd a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a \u201cMerlin\u201d and who attempts\u2014and fails\u2014to wipe Bree\u2019s memory of everything she saw.\n\nThe mage\u2019s failure unlocks Bree\u2019s 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\u2019s more to her mother\u2019s death than what\u2019s on the police report, she\u2019ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.\n\nShe recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society\u2019s secrets\u2014and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur\u2019s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she\u2019ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down\u2014or join the fight.",
