What this book is about
June and Day, now fugitives, join the Patriots—a rebel organization that wants them to assassinate the Republic's new young Elector in exchange for Day's brother's freedom. But as they get closer to their target, they begin to question whether the Elector is truly the enemy, and whether revolution will simply replace one tyrant with another. Lu's second Legend novel deepens the series' moral complexity with a thoughtful middle chapter about the ethics of violence for change.
