In this second entry in the Legion trilogy, Kami Garcia's gripping writing once again draws readers into the paranormal and supernatural world of the Legion.
Kennedy Waters unknowingly released the demon Andras into the world in Unbreakable. After joining the Legion of the Black Dove, a centuries-old underground organization of supernatural warriors, she was tricked into freeing their most formidable foe. Now Kennedy must rejoin the fight with her Legion friends before Andras can release more demons into the world. But first, Kennedy must confront her own demons. An intense yet tenuous relationship with fellow Legion member Jared feels like love; after all, Jared's "the boy who fought for me, even when I didn't fight for myself." But Kennedy has yet to prove she's a member of the Legion and destined for Jared. As an orphan, Kennedy wonders who can confirm whether she's inherited the familial Legion mantle? Kennedy hunts down her aunt Faith, and learns her family has ties to the mysterious Legion enemy organization, the Illuminati. Worse yet, her mother was secretly working against everything the Legion, and now Kennedy, stands for. Kennedy must find the strength to fight for her own beliefs, her love, her family and the world.
Set in a darker world than that of the Beautiful Creatures series, the Legion will appeal to male and female teens, as well as adults. Garcia's dialogue flows naturally and shows the personality of every character, making it easy for readers to keep track of a somewhat large cast of characters. --Jessica Bushore, former public librarian and freelance writer
