A Scion. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped. When the Regents reveal they will do whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere, Bree’s own powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can’t escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect Nick until death. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the ancestors who wielded them first – without losing herself in the process.Praise for Legendborn: "I love the feeling of a magical world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore and secret societies – all grounded in our very real, very flawed world . . ." – Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone "Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn braids southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power and self-discovery." – Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles

"Damn. Let my heart be still. ❤️ This was an amazing sequel to Legendborn that continues to draw on emotions involving systemic racism, loss, and love, all through the eyes of a black teenage girl with remarkable magical powers. Brianna continues to navigate a world of demons, legacy, and ancestral magic while struggling with a love triangle that's got her heart torn in two different directions. Tracy Deonn has done another excellent job bringing all of these themes seamlessly together into one book. I am dying for book 3."
"A fun follow up to the first book,just too good!"

"Even better than the first book and can't wait to read the next one! Brianna's growth, the challenges and even some surprises, I actually hope this story doesn't end with Oathbound. "

"I almost dnfed this just like with the first book. It is good, but it gets slow after a while, and whisking the characters into random battle scenes doesn't fix that slowness. But, I liked this one better than the first one. unfortunately, however, just like with the first one, I had to switch to audiobook halfway through in order to keep my focus, which I dont enjoy having to do. I want to love these more than I do. "
"I love the Black history and power of the ancestors in this series. Bloodmarked really illustrated generational curses. We talk about it often in the Black community but the Bloodmark is the manifestation of a generational curse, following the women in Bree’s family. The author also does a beautiful job of depicting the pain that’s been following the bloodlines of Black families since slavery.
The book has positive Black women representation, as well as a few 2SLGBTQIA+ characters.
This is a series that I wish I had when I was a teen and I can’t wait to share it with my niece. Until then I’ll be patiently waiting for the third book. 5 ⭐️’s for this series. "
