Synopsis
Oathbound is the third book in Tracy Deonn's Legendborn Cycle. Bree Matthews has deliberately isolated herself from the Legendborn Order in an effort to protect those around her from the dangers her powers attract, but in doing so she has struck a dangerous bargain with the Shadow King, a shapeshifter who demands her service in exchange for training her uniquely powerful and destabilizing abilities. Meanwhile, the other Scions of the Order face a fractured Round Table, the disappearance of their ally Selwyn, and an imprisoned Nick, forcing them to reckon with what remains of their alliance without Bree's leadership to hold it together in the crisis closing in around them.

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.
