After her mother dies, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews enrolls in a residential program at UNC–Chapel Hill, hoping to escape her grief. Her first night on campus, she witnesses a magical attack by a flying demon and discovers a secret society of "Legendborn" students who hunt such creatures. A mage attempts to erase her memory but instead unlocks her own hidden magic and a buried memory that ties a Merlin to her mother's death. 

Determined to uncover the truth, Bree infiltrates the Legendborn with the help of Nick, a self-exiled member. As they delve deeper, Bree learns the society's members are descendants of King Arthur's knights and are preparing for a magical war. Bree must decide whether to use her powers to dismantle the society or join their fight. 

 

Thoughts: Great story!! Struggled learning all the names, but when I got it, it really took off!
