Legend by Marie Lu

​

Marie Lu was born in Wuxi, China in 1984 and later moved to Beijing. In 1989 she and her family moved to Georgia when she was five years old because of the Tiananman Square Protest. She attended The University of Southern California and interned at Disney Interactive Studios. Before she turned to be an author, she was an art designer for the video game industry. She now lives in Los Angeles, California. She has written 5 novels including, Legend, Prodigy, and Champion. This is ironic because the book is based around a dystopian west coast.
