They have only one request-June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.It's their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.
But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she's haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood-what if the Patriots are wrong?

Praise for Marie Lu s New York Times bestseller, PRODIGY:
Featured on ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY S MUST-LIST!
From THE LOS ANGELES TIMES:
Marie Lu has beaten the curse with Prodigy. . . it has all the chivalry of Robin Hood and all the shine and grime of Blade Runner . . . The well-drawn worlds, political undercurrents and the believability of the characters make it all feel fresh . . . Lu proves that a Book 2 needn't play second fiddle, providing intrigue and deep pleasure all its own.
From THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS:
. . . clear your calendar to allow yourself the luxury of reading this book in one or two sittings. You will be shaken . . .

Lu opts for a high simmer of intrigue in her sequel to Legend taut and insightful.

STARRED REVIEW from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
Lu s debut is a stunner. . . raises hopes high for the sequels to come.
STARRED REVIEW from KIRKUS REVIEWS:
A gripping thriller in dystopic future Los Angeles. This is no didactic near-future warning of present evils, but a cinematic adventure featuring endearing, compelling heroes.
STARRED REVIEW from BOOKLIST:
[D]elicious details keep pages turning . . . you ve got the makings for a potent sequel.
STARRED REVIEW from VOYA:
A fast-paced blend of action and science fiction (with only a hint of potential romance) means that this one will likely appeal to male and female readers alike. Debut author Lu has managed a great feat emulating a highly successful young adult series while staying true to her own voice. Legend will give Hunger Games fans something worthwhile to read.
STARRED REVIEW from LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION:
This book stands out . . .

A compelling dystopic world, with diverse characters, high tension and political intrigue. [If] you liked the Hunger Games, you'll love this.
