We're so excited to be hosting Tracy Deonn, bestselling and award-winning author of The Legendborn Cycle series, to discuss the series' third installment, Oathbound. The series features a dazzling contemporary fantasy world blending Southern Black Girl Magic, secret societies, and the legend of King Arthur. Tracy is one of our favorite authors, and we hope you can join us to celebrate her amazing work!
From Kim Recommends:
Legendborn belongs in the YA Fantasy Hall of Fame. It has everything that makes the genre shine. You've got worldbuilding based on Arthurian legend that feels both familiar and wildly unique. You have a heroine who has to balance schoolwork, grief, and a magical world she never knew existed. There's even a budding love triangle. And flowing seamlessly through all of it is a conversation about the complexities of history and racism, and what happens when only one group gets to control the narrative. Needless to say, Tracy Deonn is a rockstar.
Tickets will be bundled with a copy of Oathbound which Tracy will sign at the event. Tickets are required for this event.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster.
Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe.
But Bree’s decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow King’s hands—and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé.
Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order’s Merlins, he invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them…or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table.
As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.
