We will be diving into book 3 of the Legendborn Cycle series, Oathbound by Tracy Deonn. Below you will find:

RSVP link to our very own Virtual Release Party (via Zoom)
And if you don’t have time for a re-read of books 1 & 2, I’ve linked recaps and worldbuilding resources to refresh your memory so we can all be caught up by the time Oathbound hits the shelves!
IMPORTANT NOTE: There’s been some big updates to our Book Club. We will no longer be on Fable, our book club will now take place here on Substack. Please read on for more information and to view our reading schedule!
Book of the Month Details
📚 BOTM: Oathbound by Tracy Deonn
Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster.
Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe.
But Bree’s decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow King’s hands—and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé.
Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war while their Round Table is fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to grant him an audience, the Order’s Merlins imprison him. No one knows what he will demand of the Regents...or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table.
As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.

Book Crumbs is an adult book club for readers over the age of 18 who can read and enjoy mature content. Please note that just because a book is YA does not mean it will not have triggering themes. Please engage responsibly. I am also reading our BOTM for the first time with the book club unless otherwise stated. Some books may contain varying levels of spice. It is your responsibility as a reader to read the trigger warnings of each book and to avoid any themes or mature content you do not wish to read.
