Alice Martin loves nature, but she's no flower-child princess. She isn't the sweet, endlessly empathetic, shy girl who spends all her time hiding in the library with a book. Alice is one of the most beautiful girls at T.B.L. Academy, a private school that has been training legends for centuries. She's also one of the top students in biology and botany. But her life is anything but sunshine and roses. She hates her mother. Yeah. But unlike her father, Alice hasn't given up on her. She refuses to disappoint her, even if every choice she makes is controlled by her mother. Her friends. Her first loves. Her interests... Alice feels like a puppet. And yet, deep down, she would do anything to have something-or someone-to take care of besides the plants in her bedroom. Matthew Wright has a heart of ice, and the only person who knows how to get through to him is his best friend, Kris. They couldn't be more different, yet somehow, they're inseparable. Matthew is the top student in his year, captain of both the soccer and baseball teams, and a talented pianist. He also comes from a billionaire family. And he hates it. More specifically, he hates his father and that enormous mansion he calls home. Not only because his father was absent for most of his life, but because the place always made Matthew feel like a prisoner. Then Alice, Matthew, Luna, Kris, and Ellie get caught "sabotaging" the art room. Their punishment? Work undercover for their literature professor, investigating a series of mysterious legends no one has ever heard of. What starts as a punishment soon turns into something much more dangerous. They'll find themselves caught in situations that are strange, terrifying, and far more real than they ever could have imagined. And somewhere along the way, they'll form a bond that feels almost... magical. What happens when winter meets spring? The first book in the Legend saga-a collection of stories about our legends.
