In an interview with Judith Pereira from The Globe and Mail, Lu explained that watching Les Misérables drew her to adapt the criminal versus detective narrative to make it a teen version. One of her biggest inspirations was Les Misérables, basing her characters of Day and June on the police inspector Javert and ex-convict Jean Valjean in the movie. Lu drew inspiration from several sources while writing this novel. Published by Penguin Young Readers Group under the Putnam imprint in July 2010, Legend is Marie Lu's first published work.
Lu draws inspiration from events and experiences throughout her life and media she has consumed such as the movie Les Miserables. It is the first book in the Legend series followed by Prodigy, Champion, and Rebel.
Legend is a 2011 dystopian young adult novel written by American author Marie Lu. Print ( hardcover and paperback), audiobook, e-book
