She grew up in central North Carolina, where she devoured fantasy books and Southern food in equal measure. But through it all stands Bree Matthews, a girl who was raised human and thrown into a role and a legacy she didn’t ask for, constantly forced to prove herself twice over – first as Scion, and then as a young Black girl with unheard-of power stepping into a space that has been long been considered reserved for the white male as standard. Tracy Deonn is the New York Times bestselling and Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award-winning author of Legendborn, and a second-generation fangirl. This book feels darker and heavier than its predecessor too as the stakes get higher, relationships are challenged and the possibility of betrayal lurks around every corner. Between the mythology of King Arthur, Bree’s growing understanding of what it means to be a Bloodcrafter, and the exploration of where each of these powers comes from, Bloodmarked is rich with fantasy at every turn – and there are definitely more than enough of them to keep even the most seasoned of fantasy readers guessing. Bloodmarked is a novel that takes the world that was introduced in Legendborn and expands it tenfold, peeling back the layers of the world we thought we knew to reveal that, actually, Deonn is only just getting started.
