What would you do if the ruler of the frozen north land kingdom tried to make one of your faithful minions marry someone else? Would you that happen? Or would you use your dungeon deity powers to dig under his land, invade his castle with your horde of monsters, and warm your soul with the sounds of his dying screams? Come on. It’s the third book. We all know what you would do.

After her mother dies in an accident, 16-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.
