It is 2130 A.D.. Once known as the western coast of the United States, the Republic is now a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors, the Colonies. New strains of the plague break out every year, and guards occupy each of the sectors to keep fighting to a minimum. Born into an elite family, fifteen-year-old June is a military prodigy and is being groomed for the Republic's highest circles. Born into the slums of the Republic's Lake Sector, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal but his motives may not be as malicious as they seem. Their paths cross after the murder of June's brother, Metias, and Day is the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. In a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.Legend was a wonderful dystopian thriller. Full of intrigue, romance and action, I didn't want to put it down. June and Day were compelling rivals. Lu did a good job of pacing, especially as June started to learn that things were not as she believed them to be. It's book one of a trilogy, and the rights have already been purchased to adapt Legend into a movie.
