Legendborn by Tracy Deonn book follows sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews, who after her mother’s death, wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home.

She discovers a secret society of so-called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.

Bree’s unique magic is unlocked, and a buried memory with a hidden connection is revealed: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital.
