Within the walls of
Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams
has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and
obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the
wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to
return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander
assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same
boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who
handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief
in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself.
But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what
awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.
At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast.
Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on
learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his
plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive
daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan
goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake
than disappointing Jared.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked
by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for
blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a
war decades in the making.
Why I want to read it: Defiance sounds like a great fantasy read with a reluctant male character and a daring female lead. The cover is gorgeous too!
