The second book in Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. 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?
In this highly-anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller Legend, Lu delivers a breathtaking thriller with high stakes and cinematic action.

“Masterful.” —The Los Angeles Times”Lu’s action-packed series is the real deal.” —Entertainment Weekly

“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.”

clear your calendar to allow yourself the luxury of reading this book in one or two sittings.
You will be shaken . . .”

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.
