Yes, we do find ourselves in a little bit of a love triangle (I for one really like Rian), but Tessa and Corrick have a long journey (literally and figuratively) before them and it’s not over yet.īrigid Kemmerer excels at giving us wonderfully flawed characters who it’s so easy to love and who can shred our hearts all in the same paragraph. Tessa just wants to find solutions and the kind sailor from across the sea seems to promise it all. Tessa and Corrick’s relationship has deteriorated, worn down by palace politics and the reality of Corrick’s role and choices. But it will mean Tessa and Corrick must leave Kandala, leave King Harristan and must face the growing tension between them.ĭefend the Dawn has no shortage of action and tension. When a ship arrives from a long-forgotten neighbouring land, it seems it might have the solutions they are looking for.

Everywhere they turn they are met with anger and blockades to a solution. Now, in Defend the Dawn, Tessa and Prince Corrick have managed to dispel the uprising – for now – and are striving to find a solution to the Moonflower shortages.

But Wes was hiding a massive secret and rebellion was rising. In book one of Defy the Night we met Wes and Tessa, outlaws working to secret medicine to the poor. Defend the Dawn is the second book in the Defy the Night series and all I can say is I definitely need book 3, right now.
