Notes

  • From the series record (The Legendborn Cycle): A contemporary Arthurian-legend reimagining following a Black teenager who discovers a secret society of modern-day 'Legendborn' descended from King Arthur's knights. A speculative untitled 4th-book placeholder appears on the book's rating-platform series page (no real title or date, 'TBA') -- per Article 2, not registered; this trilogy is treated as complete per its own publisher's 3-book boxed-set marketing.
