Where to start Marie Lu’s Legend

Marie Lu’s Republic, not Gemmell’s Drenai

This page is Lu’s YA trilogy-plus-one. Gemmell’s Legend is a different book by a different author. If that is the search you meant, this shop does not have a Drenai map.

Publication order for Lu: Legend, Prodigy, Champion, then Rebel if you want the later generation.

What chronological charts get wrong

Life Before Legend is a prequel novella. It assumes you already know the wanted posters. House rule: the three, then Rebel. Insert the novella after the three if you have it. Life After Legend pieces are short epilogue extras, not novels.

Warcross and The Young Elites are different Lu shelves.

The full Legend map

The four-book table and the novella flag live on the Legend reading-order guide. This page is only which Legend and which book one.
