What this book is about
The second Legendborn Cycle novel follows Bree as she accepts her role as the new Merlin, the most powerful magical position in the secret society descended from Arthurian legend. Deonn continues her examination of the Round Table's legacy through the lens of Black American history; the second novel deepens both the mythology and the racial history woven into it. The YA fantasy action is significant and the emotional stakes are high.
