Release Date: September 30th, 2014

Synopsis as found on KamiGarcia.com:

The heart-pounding sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller, Unbreakable, by New York Times bestselling Beautiful Creatures co-author Kami Garcia.

He is here… and he could be anyone.

Kennedy Waters lives in a world where vengeance spirits kill, ghosts keep secrets, and a demon walks among us–a demon she accidentally set free.

Now Kennedy and the other Legion members–Alara, Priest, Lukas, and Jared–have to hunt him down. As they learn more about the history of the Legion and the Illuminati, Kennedy realizes that the greatest mystery of all does not belong to any secret order, but to her own family. With the clock ticking and the life of someone she loves hanging in the balance, Kennedy has to ask the question she fears most: what is it about her past that has left her Unmarked?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sequel to Kami Garcia's The Legion: Unbreakable begins with a mind-blowing reveal of something that does not get explained until the end of the book... so with that reveal happening prior to chapter 1 & the shock it instills, I was excited and itching to find out how the Legion got to that point.

Chapter 1 begins with Kennedy in boarding school. No one except her Aunt knows where she is... not even her best friend Elle. Feeling alone for the first time in her life, the only thing she has to turn to is tracking the demon, Andras, and the killing spree he is on. When the team finally finds her, it is like no time has been spent apart & business begins again... time to find out why she didn't receive her Legion mark.

With new characters & a cryptic quest, the Legion will face an evil like no one has ever seen before. They must race against the clock to make sure that the gates of Hell are never opened... and they must hunt down a Demon that none of their ancestors have been able to stop. Will they succeed... and will they all survive?
