About this eBook

The explosive finale to Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!

He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?  
 
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

Ratings and reviews

Marie Lu, you are the best author of all time! This book falls into all my favorite catagories: action adventure, mystery, romance, a hint of comedy, and tragedy. This book made me laugh, cry, yell in fustration, and greive in sadness. I felt like a was there, as a republic soldier, watching everything happen between Day and June. At the end of Champion i was devestated for 2 reason: 1)i had finished the whole series 2)Day and June had to start all over again. BEST BOOKS I EVER READ BY FAR 💍 😫 😵 😘 💘 😭

I like the first 2 books, but this one ruined the series and made me not want to read life before legend. I like action with reason, but not pure fighting just because. Also the dumb romance crap is bocking out all of the dignity of the author. Read 1 and 2 but not this load of junk. I bought it on kindle. Huge mistake. Do not read it if you liked the previous books.

This book is amazing. The whole Legend series is amazing, I was sad when I finished the book. The story is incredible and June and Days love make you keep reading the book, in the end I thought there wasn't going to be another chance for them to get to know each other again because Day was gone but when he came back and said he'd like to get to know June again I was so happy. I love how detailed the book was, it made it so easy for me to see the story in my mind. This is one of the best books I've ever read.
