Legendborn Reading Order

Tracy Deonn's Legendborn series is an ongoing YA fantasy series set at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where a secret society called the Order of the Round Table has been hiding in plain sight for centuries — descendants of King Arthur's knights who are preparing for the day Arthur reincarnates and Britain's enemies return. Bree Matthews arrives on campus for an early college program and discovers that the death she was told was an accident was something else, and that the magical world she didn't know existed has been affecting her family for generations. The series must be read in order.

Legendborn Cycle — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Legendborn reading order?

How many Legendborn books are there?

The Legendborn Cycle currently has two published books: Legendborn (2020) and Bloodmarked (2022). A third book has been announced and is in progress.

Is Legendborn part of a larger connected world?

Legendborn is set in a contemporary United States where the Arthurian legend is hidden history rather than myth. It is not connected to any other published series. The world-building is entirely contained within the Legendborn Cycle.

What makes Legendborn unique?

Legendborn centers the experience of a Black girl in a secret society whose mythology is rooted in a white British colonial legacy — and asks what that legacy actually means, what it has done, and whether it belongs to her. The novel is unusual in the YA fantasy genre for treating the magic system and the racial history of the United States as genuinely connected rather than parallel concerns.
