New York Times bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan brings the Lynburn Legacy—her modern, magical twist on the Gothic romance and girl-detective genres—to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. Perfect for fans of the Beautiful Creatures and the Mortal Instruments series.
 
Who will be the sacrifice?
 
Kami is linked to two boys. One through a strong magical bond, and the other through unforgettable love. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town. Working with her friends, Kami uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility—and a painful choice. A choice that will risk not only Kami’s life, but also the lives of those she loves most.
 
As coauthor with Cassandra Clare of the bestselling Bane Chronicles, Sarah Rees Brennan has mastered the art of the page-turner.
 
A strong example of diversity in YA, the Lynburn Legacy not only introduces Kami Glass, a half-Japanese teen, but also includes an LGBTQ romance as one of the subplots.

      Gr 7 Up-Evil sorcerer Rob Lynburn, master of Aurimere House, has nefarious plans for those villagers in Sorry-in-the-Vale who won't join his side. He's strengthening his powers in preparation, which requires nothing less than human sacrifice. Kami Glass intends to stop him, but how? Her link with Jared has been severed-and he's missing. Her new link with Ash isn't helping and her mother is living up at Aurimere, serving Rob and his ilk. The good guys are outnumbered and out-magicked, but Kami refuses to give up. Research turns up one ritual that might help, but it could end up killing all of them. Brennan keeps the action coming and the dialogue zippy and quippy. Kami and her friends are a delight and readers will root for them to save themselves and their town and for everyone to end up kissing whoever they want to kiss. This trilogy ender isn't really a stand-alone though; readers will be well served by reading the previous, equally charming installments.-Stephanie Klose, School Library Journal

      At the end of Untold (rev. 9/13), things looked dire for magic source Kami Glass and sorcerer Jared Lynburn. Jared had sneaked away to confront his estranged father, the power-crazed sorcerer Rob Lynburn. Kami, desperate to increase their firepower, undertook a spell to link her mind and magic with Jared's half-brother Ash, making the recent breaking of her lifelong bond with Jared that much more painful. Now, Jared has returned alive; otherwise, the situation quickly goes from bad to terrible. As in the previous books in the series, the emotional suspense and violent magical action are well balanced by snarky humor and moments of sweetness -- romantic (including the continuation of a welcome same-sex romantic subplot), platonic, and familial alike. Readers will root for courageous, quirky protagonist Kami and her fellow underdogs all the way through the trilogy's wholly satisfying (if not entirely unexpected) conclusion. katie bircher
