A spark of rebellion is all it takes to DEFY THE NIGHT.

In a kingdom where sickness stalks the streets and only the richest can afford a cure, King Harristan and his brother Prince Corrick are forced to rule with an iron fist.

Tessa Cade is a masked outlaw marked for death, but she likes it that way. Together with the mysterious, handsome Weston, she robs from the rich to help the poor, distributing food and medicine to those who need it most.

As it becomes clear that the only way to save her people is to assassinate the King, Tessa must face a deadly mission that will take her to the dark heart of the kingdom … and force her to work with the very people she intended to destroy.

Critic reviews

Defy the Night is a twisty, edge-of-your-seat fantasy that has it all—outlaws, court intrigue, rebellions, and romance. Addicting from page one! (#1 New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout)
A captivating combination of thrilling adventure, swoon-worthy romance, and royal intrigue, Defy the Night is everything I crave in a fantasy romance (Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series)
Brigid Kemmerer has woven her compelling heroine into a kinetic tale of the tension between duty, love and trust (Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours)
Immersive and engaging, Defy the Night is a romantic epic that blends magic and politics with a deft hand (Adrienne Young, New York Times Bestselling author of Fable)
Defy the Night has everything you want in a story: a complex, dangerous world where anyone could be your enemy, a tortured hero, and my personal favorite: plenty of kissing. This book is unputdownable (Isabel Ibañez, author of Woven In Moonlight, a William C. Morris award finalist)
A high-stakes fantasy with heart and originality. Kemmerer is a master of nuance and political intrigue, and readers will fall in love with her characters while they race through the pages (Elizabeth Lim, New York Times bestselling author of Spin the Dawn and So This is Love)
A breathtaking, tender, and fiercely page-turning story, Defy the Night has left me thinking and questioning, which is the best thing any book can do

Struggled to get behind the narrator for Corrick (he sounded much too old for a 19yo) but I loved the story and it kept me hooked!

Really enjoyed this story and the narration was fantastic! There's no magic or supernatural elements in this series, so the focus is more on politics and class struggle between rich and poor - with a strong dose of the corruptible nature of capitalism thrown in. It's a really well-told story and the main characters are great. I love the brotherly relationship between king and prince, and the strength of the emotions is brought out perfectly by the narrators. I'll be straight onto book 2!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

LOVE this audiobook!!

This was really enjoyable, I loved the characters & the pace was great too. The character development was very satisfying & while it started off a bit black & white, there was soon depth to the story.
