The explosive finale to Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!
He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense,
Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

As stated above, the release date's on November 5th, which means we're only 123 hours and 4,140 minutes away from getting our hands on this explosive finale to Marie Lu's debut series, Legend. I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for a long time for this book to be released the second I finished Legend's second installment, Prodigy. I mean, I was surprised that I was able to wait this long because (if you have read Prodigy, you'll be nodding with me) Prodigy's ending is one of the most gut-wrenching endings I have read this year!
I wouldn't want to devour this book in one sitting, but I don't know if my hold on myself's that great, so I might, but I really, really don't want to! As much as possible, I would like to cherish each and every moment I have left with these amazing characters because I don't want them to become a distant memory from my teenage years!

About the Author:
I write young adult novels, and have a special love for dystopian books. Ironically, I was born in 1984. I like food, fighter jets, afternoon tea, happy people, electronics, the interwebz, cupcakes, pianos, bright colors, rain, Christmas lights, sketches, animation, dogs, farmers' markets, video games, and of course, books. I suck at working out. I also get lost very easily, but am a halfway decent driver. At least, I like to think so. :)
I left Beijing for the States in 1989 and went off to college at the University of Southern California. California weather sweet-talked me into sticking around, so I'm currently in Pasadena with my boyfriend, two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and a chihuahua mix. In my past life, I was an art director in the video game industry, but now I write full-time.
