About this item
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her previous life, family memories, or her childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at a local university 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 teenage mage who calls himself a &;Merlin&; and who attempts&;and fails&;to wipe Bree&;s memory of everything she saw. The mage&;s failure reveals Bree&;s own, unique magic and unlocks a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital.
