Legend (Marie Lu)
Marie Lu · 4 novels · 1 short story · 2011–2019
Marie Lu's Legend follows two teenagers from opposite ends of a divided, war-torn future society — one a celebrated young military prodigy, the other a hunted fugitive — whose paths collide and gradually complicate what each believed about the system that shaped them. The story continues through Prodigy and Champion, with a fourth book, Rebel, added years after the original trilogy closed; Lu has cited the film Les Misérables among her inspirations for its shape.
