Legendborn (The Legendborn Cycle)

In Legendborn by Tracy Deonn, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews enrolls in a program at UNC–Chapel Hill to escape the pain of her mother’s death—but her new beginning turns magical and dangerous when she witnesses a demon attack on her first night.

Drawn into a secret society of students called the Legendborn, descendants of King Arthur’s knights, Bree discovers her own hidden powers and a mysterious link between her magic and her mother’s death. With the help of Nick, a rebellious Legendborn, Bree must uncover the truth and decide whether to destroy the society from within—or embrace her destiny in the coming magical war.
