June er en af Republikken Amerikas unge stjernesoldater og har en strålende militærkarriere foran sig. Day er opvokset i slummen og er nu en af Republikkens mest eftersøgte sabotører. Deres verdener ligger uendeligt langt fra hinanden, men da Day bliver mistænkt for mordet på Junes bror, sætter hun alt ind på at finde ham. Ingen metoder er for beskidte til at fange Day – og hun har Republikkens fulde opbakning til at gøre det af med den kriminelle oprører.Efterhånden som June zoomer ind på Day, opdager de dog hver for sig, at der måske er andre ting end mordet på Junes bror, der binder dem sammen. Men det er dødsensfarlig og dybt begravet viden – og Republikken skyr ingen midler for at holde sandheden skjult …"Livet i 2.g er hårdt og fyldt med skolearbejde og afleveringer – men så snart jeg var begyndt på ‘Legend’, kunne jeg slet ikke lægge den fra mig. Bogen er en enormt nervepirrende og fuldkommen fantastisk start på trilogien!"- De Unges Ord"Historien var virkelig spændende, og jeg fløj igennem bogen."- Boghjørnet
June og Day har undsluppet Republikkens jerngreb om Los Angeles og er flygtet til Vegas, netop som det utænkelige sker: Elektor Primo dør, og hans søn, Anden, overtager efter ham. Mens Republikken er på randen af kaos, slutter Day og June sig til en af Patrioternes oprørsgrupper, der gerne vil hjælpe dem med at redde Days lillebror og derefter hjælpe dem over til Kolonierne. Der er bare én betingelse. June og Day skal myrde den nye Elektor.Det er en chance for at forandre nationen og give stemme til alle dem, der længe har været tavse og undertrykte, så Day og June indvilliger i planen. Men da det går op for June, at den nye Elektor på ingen måde minder om sin far – men derimod viser sig at være foruroligende sympatisk – bliver hendes samvittighed plaget. Hvad nu hvis Anden betyder nye muligheder og et ændret styre? Hvad nu hvis revolutionen må være mere end tab og hævn, vrede og blod? Hvad nu hvis Patrioterne tager fejl.Men som led i planen er Day og June blevet skilt ad. Vil June kunne nå at videregive sin tvivl til Day? Og hvordan vil Day tage imod Junes besked efter at have set hende på særdeles venskabelig fod med den nye Elektor …
Han er en legende.Hun er den udvalgte.Hvem bliver vinderen?I det dramatiske sidste bind i Legend-trilogien er Day, folkets helt, og June, nu den unge Electors nærmeste medarbejder og fortrolige, endnu en gang forelskede og i store problemer. Republikken bliver angreget af Kolonierne, der er overbeviste om, at deres fjende har sluppet en dødelig virus løs blandt dem. De vil kun ophøre med bombardementerne, hvis Republikken giver dem en kur mod virusset. Og den eneste måde at finde frem til kuren på er ved at foretage yderligere eksperimenter på Days bror Eden, hvilket Day aldrig vil gå med til. Så måske er det i virkeligheden Koloniernes plan at få Day til at gå imod Republikken og tale for Koloniernes overherredømme?Day og June elsker hinanden, men den smertefulde fortid og Junes rolle i Days families død dukker konstant op, og deres fremtid sammen synes usikker ...
