The shadows have risen, and the line is law.
All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights—only to discover her own ancestral power. Now, Bree has become someone new:
A Medium. A Bloodcrafter. 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.
Bree wants to fight, but the Regents who rule the Order won’t let her. To them, she is an unknown girl with unheard-of power, and as the living anchor for the spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, she must be protected.
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 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.
This paperback edition of Bloodmarked contains bonus content from William’s POV featuring never-before-seen scenes from Legendborn and Bloodmarked and a teaser to the explosive third book in the Legendborn Cycle, Oathbound.

“Wishes are the dangerous mind games we play with ourselves. The only way to win is not to play”
I think after this book I need to read a happy book again. It is filled with so many twists and turns I honestly had a hard time keeping up sometimes. However, this world building is truly incredible and don't even get me started on the magic system. Deonn has clearly thought long and hard about every tiny aspect in the world and it makes for an engaging read.
The characters are amazing and they all have very unique personalities that come across through their words. I absolutely love some of the new characters such as Valec - I definitely want to see more of them - and also the old characters from Legendborn. Bree, of course, is an absolute badass. Nick I wish we'd seen more of. William is one of my favourite characters and I love him to pieces. Selwyn, Selwyn the demon boy has my entire heart and can do no wrong (despite the fact that he has definitely done lots of things wrong). I really love his personality and although he does have issues, I love how he can have a soft spot for the people he cares about.
All in all, an amazing book that I highly recommend getting your teeth stuck into if you love fast paced, action packed, fantasy books with a hint of romance <3
Damn it... it's an ongoing series and the second book leaves you hanging on the edge of a massive cliff
