About this listen

The great powers are stirring, and Holt and Ash are ready to return to the fight.

A summons from the Life Elder sets them on a perilous mission, leading to steaming jungles and blistering islands where ancient secrets will challenge everything they know of magic and dragons.

Talia, the Red Queen, is beset on all sides by pirate raiders and marauding mercenaries. Empress Skadi has abandoned her, battling uprisings in her own lands. As the noose tightens on Feorlen, Talia faces a difficult choice: let her people suffer or turn her powers against mortal foes?

Osric Agravain has found hope with his newly bonded black dragon, but some wounds run deeper than flesh and bone. Along the Fallow Frontier, he seeks the inner peace that has long eluded him.

And within the sanctum at Falcaer, Paragon Adaskar is struggling to unite the fracturing riders. If he fails, ruinous chaos will break across the world.

For when Elders and Paragons quarrel, kingdoms will fall.

Every new book in this series I love the story more and more. I feel for the characters and can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. Considering listening to other series by this writer too now.

With every new book I like it more!

Defiant was very action packed. I really enjoyed the fight scenes. They were very descriptive and well written. I really love the different POVs and being able to see the different views of each character and the struggles they face, the way each character’s story branches out from each other but are still connected. I did struggle a little with keeping up with and connecting to all the extra “side” characters that were introduced though. Overall, great book and the audible version is so well done!!

Very action packed!

This was a hard book to get through. Not because it's bad. Not by any stretch. It was fantastic. I savoured every minute of this book. It was emotionally difficult.

At the end, when Holt and Ash said their sense sharing phrase, I got goosebumps. So good!

A book worth savouring
