Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Chase Brown, Lexie McDougall and Christopher Ragland.

In the eagerly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller Defy the Night, author Brigid Kemmerer continues her electrifying series with more royal intrigue, more sizzling romance and shocking twists that will leave listeners breathless.   

What will they sacrifice to save their kingdom?

Their honor?

Their love?

Their lives?

Tessa Cade has gone from masked outlaw to palace advisor, but even with her newfound power, she can’t stop the sickness still raging and the kingdom’s supply of Moonflower elixir is dwindling. Prince Corrick is trying to find a new way to lead, but it isn’t easy to repair the rift between the royals and the people—or the one growing between himself and Tessa. 

When an emissary from the a neighboring kingdom of Ostriary arrives with an intriguing offer, Tessa and Corrick set out on an risky uncertain journey to find a new source of the lifesaving elixir. But with tensions brewing on deck and the sea swirling below, Tessa and Corrick must decide who they can trust--including each other. 

They knew they couldn’t really trust their companions, but they’re shocked to discover that a craven betrayal may be much closer than they think . . .

Slow start but then totally takes off!

I had to give this a few chapters to really engage me, but oh boy, was that ever worth it! A huge setting change with the introduction of new great characters while keeping the ones you cared about from the first book made this my fave in the series so far.Looking forward to the next book!

A MUST READ!!!!

This book is so GOOD. You just get sucked into it. The performances are so well done. The only reason I gave it a 4 stars is because Quint’s voice changes in one of the perspectives 😂❤️ I love, love, LOVE this book and I cannot wait for the third one to come out!!!!
