The first page of my book Legend by Marie Lu introduces the the main characters June and Day. Day is a most wanted criminal of the Republic which is a new country in the western portion of the United States. The U.S. has split into two enemy factions, the Republic and the Colonies, both fighting for land and resources. Day has been trouble for the Republic for years but they are never able to catch him. The weirdest thing about day though is that when he commits crimes, he never kills anyone. Soldiers and police from the crime scene are all either found knocked out or dazed and usually unscratched. He's vandalized military areas, stolen supplies, food, weapons, but never hurt a single person.
June is a highly acclaimed student in the Republic who attends the best college in the country. She comes home one day to find her brother, the only remaining member of her family, is dead. Her parents both died in a car accident when she was very young. The prime suspect for the murder is none other than Day. June is confused though because Day has never killed a single person, and her brother was found with a knife through his heart. This was clearly not an accident, and June goes on a hunt for who she is told killed her brother, Day.
