About This Book
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles.
Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem. From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death.
Why Hunger Games Fans Will Love It
Like The Hunger Games, Legend features a dystopian society with stark class divisions and a rebellion brewing beneath the surface. The cat-and-mouse game between June and Day mirrors the tension and political intrigue that made Katniss's story so compelling, with equally complex characters fighting against an oppressive system.
