Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy reinvents the King Arthur legend and “braids together Southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power, and self-discovery” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles).
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-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.
A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.
And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and 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 died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that 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 into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the 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.
This paperback edition of Legendborn contains a teaser to the thrilling sequel, Bloodmarked, as well as an exclusive short story from Selwyn Kane's perspective!

The packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.

Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
