After her mother dies in a car accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews escapes to an early college programme at UNC–Chapel Hill — and on her first night witnesses a demon attack, stumbling into a centuries-old secret society of 'Legendborn,' living descendants of King Arthur's knights who are preparing for a new magical war. When a Merlin fails to wipe her memory, Bree's own suppressed rootcraft magic awakens alongside a shattering realisation: a Merlin was present the night her mother died. Determined to uncover the truth about her family's past, Bree infiltrates the society and is forced to reckon with what her own bloodline really means — and at what cost.
