Skutočne fenomenálne a dlho očakávané pokračovanie úspešnej Legendy! June a Day prichádzajú do Las Vegas a nepredstaviteľné sa stáva skutočnosťou – Vodca Primo umiera a vlády sa ujme jeho syn Anden. Republika sa tak ocitá ešte o krok bližšie k absolútnemu chaosu. Day však zo všetkého najviac túži zachrániť svojho malého brata, a tak mu nezostáva nič iné, než sa spojiť s Patriotmi. Tí im obom sľúbia pomoc pod jednou podmienkou – Day a June musia zabiť nového Vodcu. Zdá sa, že je to mimoriadna šanca, ako zmeniť vývoj celej Republiky. Ale June si postupne uvedomí, že Anden nie je ako jeho despotický otec. Čo ak je práve on jedinou šancou na nový začiatok? Čo ak revolúcia musí mať vyšší zmysel ako osobnú pomstu? Čo ak sa Patrioti mýlia?
June a Day priniesli pre národ Republiky obrovské obete – obetovali veľa jeden pre druhého – a teraz sa ich krajina ocitla na pokraji zániku. June sa dostala do najvyšších politických kruhov ako Vodcova Principálka a Day prijal lukratívnu ponuku v armáde. Krátko pred podpisom mierovej zmluvy vypukne v Kolóniách nákaza a hrozí, že pohraničné mestá sa zasa ocitnú vo vojne. Ak chce June zachrániť životy tisícok ľudí, musí požiadať milovaného človeka o veľkú obeť.
Na mieste, kde sa kedysi rozprestierala západná časť Spojených štátov, sa teraz nachádza Republika – štát, ktorý je súčasťou nikdy neutíchajúcej vojny s Kolóniami. Pätnásťročná June sa narodila v jednej z najbohatších štvrtí Republiky a vďaka svojmu nadaniu a disciplinovanosti sa pripravuje na sľubnú kariéru v najvyšších vojenských kruhoch. Day, ktorý je jej rovesníkom, naopak pochádza z chudobnej časti sektora Lake a už odmlada je najhľadanejším zločincom v krajine. Obaja pochádzajú z celkom odlišných svetov, a tak zdanlivo neexistuje žiaden dôvod, prečo by sa mali ich cesty niekedy pretnúť. No len dovtedy, kým nie je zavraždený Metias, brat June, a hlavným podozrivým sa stáva práve Day. Ten sa však snaží ochrániť svoju rodinu a June pomstiť smrť svojho brata. No v šokujúcom slede udalostí prichádzajú na to, že táto skutočnosť ich stavia proti sebe. A tak nastáva boj o holý život, boj o budúcnosť ľudstva, boj o skutočnú ľudskú slobodu. Legenda – kniha plná nepretržitej akcie, napätia, romantiky a neočakávaných zvratov či prekvapivých odhalení vás nenechá ani na chvíľu vydýchnuť!
