The Legend series is Marie Lu’s debut and breakout work. Legend (2011) introduces a fractured future America where two teenagers from opposite sides of society find their fates intertwined. The series continued with Prodigy (2013) and Champion (2013), with Rebel (2019) returning to the world years later.
The series also includes companion novellas (Life Before Legend, Life After Legend) that expand on the characters’ backstories. Legend was one of the defining YA dystopian series of the early 2010s and has been adapted into graphic novel format.
