SciFi/Fantasy
After her mother dies in an accident, 16 year old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC--Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape--until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus: a flying demon feeding on human energies. There is a secret society of so called "Legendborn" students that hunt creatures down. There is a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a "Merlin" who attempts--and fails--to wipe Bree's memory of everything she saw.
The mage's failure unlocks Bree's own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother dies, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there's more to do with her mother's death than what's on the police report, she'll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if it means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.
She recruits Nick a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper in to the society's secrets--and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as descendants of King Arthur's knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she'll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down--or join the fight.
