Marie Lu will help us explore the depths of deceit, battle for power, and the lengths characters will go to unmask the Truth. Legend is a dystopian novel where two unlikely characters, June and Day, cross paths in search for the Truth.

Can they set aside their differences and preconceptions for the greater good? Readers will devour Marie Lu’s words as they are challenged to think critically about the world around them and reminded to never judge a book by its cover. Register now for an event you don’t want to miss!
