Giveaway! LEGEND by MARIE LU Prize Pack ! @Marie_Lu @PenguinTeen

November 6, 2012 By Mary

 

LEGEND

Book Description

Release Date: November 29, 2011 | Series: Legend (Book 1)
 

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths–until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes 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. But 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.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

 PRODIGY

Book Description

Release Date: January 29, 2013 | Series: Legend (Trilogy – Hardcover) (Book 2)
“Prodigy” is the long-awaited sequel to “Legend”, the must-read dystopian novel for all YA fans of “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and “Divergent” by Veronica Roth. A brilliant re-imagining of “Les Miserables”, the series is set to be a global film sensation as CBS films have acquired rights to the trilogy. The “Twilight Saga” producers, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, will produce. Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic’s most wanted traitor. Desperate for help, they turn to the Patriots – a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games? Dystopian fiction at its very best in this thrilling instalment in the Legend trilogy. Praise for Legend: “If you liked “The Hunger Games”, you’ll love this”. (Sarah Rees-Brennan, author of “The Demon’s Lexicon”). “Legend is impossible to put down and even harder to forget”. (Kami Garcia, author of “New York Times” bestselling author of “Beautiful Creatures”). “A fine example of commercial fiction with razor-sharp plotting, depth of character and emotional arc, ‘Legend’ doesn’t merely survive the hype, it deserves it”. (“New York Times”). “Marie Lu’s dystopian novel is a ‘Legend’ in the making”. (“USA Today”). Marie Lu works as an art director for a video game company. Legend and Prodigy were built round the world that Marie Lu created for a popular Facebook game also called Legend. She was born near Shanghai but currently lives in California.
