11/5/18 @9:15am pst - With over 2 million books in print, Marie Lu is a rock star of literature with a HUGE following!

Prior to the release of the Legend series, Lu worked in the gaming industry and often draws upon that experience to create magnificent and rich worlds that draw in readers—men, women, adults and teens alike! Marie Lu emigrated to the US from China at 5, spoke no English and to learn her mother would make her take the new words she learned every week and write a story using them...now Lu often receives hundreds of fans who wait hours to meet her on tour!

All of the books in her debut Legend series are New York Times bestsellers, with rave reviews from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, US Weekly, as well as multiple starred reviews. The Young Elites debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list and in a highly-publicized deal, FOX and Temple Hill Entertainment have acquired the film rights to the series.
