Legend

This year Gauntlet is publishing their first YA limited edition – the acclaimed and award-winning novel LEGEND by Marie Lu, the first book in a trilogy (they will be publishing all three). LEGEND is being made into a major motion picture along the lines of THE HUNGER GAMES, which will increase the collectibility of their limited edition.

Legend, the first book in the trilogy, is set in a dark, futuristic Los Angeles. It tells the story of two young people from opposite sides of the tracks: Day, a fifteen-year-old boy from the slums who has become America's most wanted criminal, and June, a fifteen-year-old from a wealthy family who is America's most gifted soldier-in-training. The two's paths seem like they should never cross—but when June's older brother is murdered in the line of duty and Day is the main suspect, June sets out to hunt Day down and bring him to justice. But seeking out her brother's killer brings unexpected revelations about her world, society, and family. In this new America, what is truth and what is a lie?

The limited edition will have loads of bonus material not found in the mass market version. Besides being a wonderful novelist Marie is an accomplished artist. Marie Lu created several character sketches of June and Day, which will be included. These sketches are exclusive to the limited edition.
