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 readers 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 dwindles all the while. 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 a neighboring kingdom arrives with an intriguing offer, Tessa and Corrick set out on an 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. But they're shocked to discover that a craven betrayal may be much closer than they think . . .
Customer Reviews
Oof I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one!
Wow! That was good, and intense - that cliffhanger ending 😭. I missed these characters so much since Defy the Night and can’t believe I have to wait for the third book.
I really enjoyed the added Harristan POVs and the new cast of characters added, and we saw a lot of character developments and I really didn’t know which way the book was going to turn for our main characters.
I wanted to rate it 5-stars, but perhaps unfairly I’m comparing it to Defy the Night and it was just slightly less exciting and sometimes felt a bit like filler and circular plot that didn’t need to be quite as lengthy. That being said it is absolutely set up well with the twists and action and intrigue added in the last 15% to be a VERY exciting third book. Hold on tight Tessa, Corrick, Harristan, and all of the other fun characters!
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All my thoughts are my own and we’re not impacted by receiving an ARC.
