Description

In 'Legend: The Graphic Novel,' based on the original novel by Marie Lu, the dystopian world of the Republic is brought to life through vivid illustrations. The story follows two protagonists from very different walks of life: Day, the Republic's most wanted criminal, and June, a prodigy born into an elite family, groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Their paths cross when June's brother, Metias, is murdered, and Day becomes the prime suspect. June is determined to avenge her brother's death and capture Day, but as she delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers shocking truths about the government she has sworn to serve. The graphic novel adaptation captures the intense action, romance, and suspense of the original narrative, while exploring themes of social inequality, identity, and the nature of true justice.
