Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A series of dystopian Young Adult novels written by American author Marie Lu.In a dystopian future, the USA is divided into two rival nations: "The Colonies of America" and "The American Republic". Every year, all 10-year-olds of the Republic must go through the "trial". Those who are successful move on to the the best schools and universities, usually followed military and government careers. Less satisfying results lead to a life of poverty, or worse.The story is told in dual perspective, narrated by the two 15-year-old leads: Day, a boy from the poor, plague-ridden sectors of LA and a wanted criminal turned legend, and June, a prodigy born into one of the Republic's elite families, and the only person in the history of the Republic to receive a perfect score on her trial.Their paths cross when June's brother, Metias, is killed on a military patrol. The blame falls on Day, and June vows to capture and bring him to justice. She sets out to the poor sectors, disguised as a street rat, in pursuit of Day. Their encounter sets off a chain of events that inevitably changes their lives, and the fate of both nations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series was originally envisioned as a trilogy (see the page image). However, Lu ultimately decided to revisit the series and wrote another entry, turning it into a tetralogy consisting of: Legend (2011) Prodigy (2013) Champion (2013) Rebel (2019)There are also three novellas: Life Before Legend (2013) Life After Legend (2018) Life After Legend II (2018)Legend's film rights have been sold to CBS Films, with Twilight producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen set to produce. Jonathan Levine was set to direct the film but eventually departed. The project appears to have slipped into Development Hell. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The Republic, where if you're not born privileged or rich means a horrible, horrible life for you and your entire family and where you'll be sent to labor camps or rather death camps if you're not merited enough for military or even if you're merited but considered to be too rebellious. The entire world as a whole seems to be this at first, judging by June's comments about sea level rising due to the melting polar icecaps; June mentions that South America has broken down into a series of islands. Subverted in the later two books, where it's revealed that only the United States is crapsack. Other countries are doing fine; Mexico and Canada still exist, the melting icecaps had turned Antarctica into a habitable zone, China is devising a plan to live above water, and Africa is growing richer due to the flow of capital coming from Europe, which had in many places become submerged. In fact, Africa is one of the three world powers, together with Antarctica and China. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: The Colonies. As it turns out, all the capital and shining buildings are built due to strict corporatism, where your life depends solely on your company. Antarctica is revealed to be this in Rebel. Despite what the higher-ups tell, it is a textbook example of a developing country, in that there is a very wide gap between the rich and poor. The Level system is extremely flawed and disproportionately targets the underprivileged. As June notes, it's basically the Republic with a good PR and less military. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: As of the end of Legend, Day has been saved from execution, but his mother is dead, his older brother John dies while taking Day's place in the execution, and his younger brother Eden is in the hands of the Republic. Also, after saving Day, June has become a fugitive, while her brother's killer, Thomas, walks free. By the end of the Prodigy, it seems like things will finally pick up for the Republic after Anden takes over as elector. Both Day and June have been pardoned, with Day being hailed a hero, and June being offered the role of Princeps-Elect. Eden has been freed and is receiving medical treatment. However, Day and June have not worked out through any of their issues. Eden might be permanently blind and in the final chapters Day discovers that he is dying, which prompts him to break up with June, leaving both of them heart broken. By the end of Champion the war has finally come to an end and the Republic and Colonies, while not reunited, are slowly mending their differences and beginning to build border cities to cement it. Eden is also able to regain his sight due to a surgery provided by Antarctica. However, Day's almost-fatal shot has erased his memories of the last several months, including his relationship with June. While heartbroken, she's glad that he survives and decides to leave him for 10 years. Nevertheless, the epilogue puts some hope that the two may recreate their relationship back. | |

Trauma Conga Line | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: Poor, poor Day. Even before the narrative takes place, at the age of 10, he is experimented on and then left for dead by the Republic. By the end of Legend, his mother is shot dead in front of him, he's captured and tortured by the Republic, and his older brother John dies to save him from execution. Not to mention his younger brother Eden is in the hands of the Republic, and most likely dying of the plague mutation. By the end of Prodigy, he finds out he's dying, which causes him to part ways with June, who by this point is one of the only people left close to him. As Champion opens, Day has spent the last 8 months plagued with headaches and slowly dying. He has also not spoken to June during that time, which just adds to his misery . Ironically, the epilogue is probably the only time where he is able to be left happy, and it requires forgetting June and most of the things that happened in the previous months (he still remembers his mother's death, though). By this, he has little regrets and is able to move on with his life, just as June has planned. | |

After-Action Healing Drama: At the beginning of Prodigy, when Day and June are on the run from the Republic, one of their biggest concerns is finding a way to fix Day's leg. Later in that same book, after Anden's foiled assassination, June collapses from illness when she and Day flee to the underground tunnels, and he's forced to carry her all the way through to the Colonies so that they can find her a hospital. | |

Her status as prodigy is so much a recurring theme that the second book is even named Prodigy. We later learn that Day did just as well on his trial, but it was covered up by the Republic. Eden, Day's younger brother, is described as the smartest member of the family- which says a lot, considering. In one particular example, Day and John asked him to help them fix an old radio. He was four at the time. | |

Big Bad | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Each book has a different one. Legend has the Republic's top brass and by extension the Elector, who directs the tests and Day's torture. Thomas serves as a personal one for Day, as he's responsible for framing him as Metias' killer, which means that he's indirectly also one to June. Razor serves as the main antagonist of Prodigy, being The Mole who manipulates the Patriots into working for the Republic. Finally, the Chancellor of the Colonies serves as the main antagonist of Champion. Dominic Hann is the visible villain of Rebel However, both Day and Eden note that Antarctica's flawed societal system is more to blame for the book's events, rather than any single person. | |

| Legend Trilogy / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: The Chancellor of the Colonies serves as one for the first two books thanks to being the leader of the opposite side but not actually figuring much to the plot. He steps down as the Big Bad in Champion. | |

Take That! | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: In Rebel, after his visit to Los Angeles' National Museum, Day reflects that no matter how horrible the world is, it's still better than the era before the division, i.e. when the Republic and Colonies were a single country called the United States, since at least they didn't discriminate people based on nothing but skin color. He expresses disgust upon finding out that the country's first civil war was caused by such a flimsy reason as race. | |

My Country, Right or Wrong: Thomas killed Matias, his best friend, due to Matias' treasonous hacking into government servers. Despite being sentenced to death for following orders and engaging in a lengthy dialogue with June about how he feels abandoned by the Republic while Day, a barely reformed criminal, and until recently, traitor, is now a national hero, he chooses to engage in a suicidal attack against invading Colonies soldiers, shouting patriotic slogans, no less. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Champion does this regarding June and Day's Ship Sinking. Day may or may not have recalled some of his memories with June, and might regain all of them if they start befriending again. Even if he can't, he and June can simply start everything from scratch. The post-series novellas reveal that he does indeed regain his memories, although not entirely. | |

Battle Couple | |
| Legend Trilogy / int_db39ccfd | comment |
Battle Couple: Day and June by the end of Legend. Elector Primo and his wife, who served as Senator Princeps, used to be this back when she was alive, as well. In fact, it seems that their relationship had cemented the tradition that the Elector and Senator Princeps are couples, causing June's brief dilemma when Anden offers her the Princeps position. Rebel features Eden and Pressa. | |

People's Republic of Tyranny: The Republic's leader, Elector Primo, has been reigning for 30 years and counting through rigged elections, though the elites (including June, at first) don't mind much. He has also designated his son, Anden, as his heir, effectively making it a hereditary republic. While Anden does ascend as leader after Primo's death, he is interested in reforms and actual democracy may finally be ushered after the war. | |

| Legend Trilogy / int_f178203a | comment |
Inspector Javert: Thomas shares many character traits with Javert, including a strict separation of right and wrong (in his own opinion), being born and raised in the slum districts of Los Angeles (the same place as Day, but while Day uses his childhood as proof that the government is working against poor residents, Thomas uses his experience as proof of the benefits of hard work and obedience, a la "The Confrontation" in Les Mis), and most importantly, when his view of the Republic superiority is shattered by the Colonies' troops entering the capital, he chooses to commit suicide by engaging in a one-man suicide charge. | |

Amnesiac Lover: The ending of Champion has a cruel one between Day and June: due to the fatal shot, the former remembers everything but his relationship with June. And unlike other examples, June decides that it may be best for them to part ways for good. However, the epilogue implies that Day eventually regains his memories, something confirmed in the Life After Legend novellas. | |
