The first book in the thrilling Defy the Night series: a blockbuster fantasy saga about a corrupt kingdom, a star-crossed romance and a girl who will do anything for justice.
_______________

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.

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!

Great book, okay narrators

After starting this book back in August after having won an advanced reader copy. I can finally say I have finished another fantasy masterpiece from Brigid Kemmerer!

I loved everything about this story from the plot to the characters. With many twists and turns a Robin Hood vibe it was just perfect!

Highly recommend and so looking forward to the next installment! ❤️

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.

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!!
