If you liked The Hunger Games, you'll love this!

Sarah Rees-Brennan, author of The Demon's Lexicon

A romantic thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world where nothing is what it seems--Legend is impossible to put down and even harder to forget.

Kami Garcia, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Creatures

I could only stand up and cheer, therefore, for Marie Lu's 'Legend.' A fine example of commercial fiction with razor-sharp plotting, depth of character and emotional arc, 'Legend' doesn't merely survive the hype, it deserves it.

Marie Lu's dystopian novel is a 'Legend' in the making

The brilliant sequel in the Legend trilogy - perfect for The Hunger Games fans! 
 
Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor. 
 
Desperate for help, they turn to the Patriots - a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games? 
 
Dystopian fiction at its very best in this thrilling instalment in the Legend trilogy.
