Defy the Night Series

(0 review)

AUTHOR ALERT! Brigid Kemmerer, author of the much loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely, More Than We Can Tell, and Letters to the Lost has released another book, this time inspired by Robin Hood and his philosophy of stealing from the rich...

This fantastic series begins with a divided kingdom and the outburst of a CONTAGIOUS disease. The cure to the disease? Only moonflower petals, and they certainly do NOT grow in abundance. And of course, when supplies are limited, the poor pay the consequences...

Tessa Cade, apprentice apothecary and never-takes-no-for-an-answer feisty character, decides to take things into her own hands. She will steal moonflower petals and use them to create an elixir that she can then distribute among the poor. But word spreads fast, and soon Tessa is turned in to the king and his awful brother. And that's how this series begins...

These books are packed full with rebellion, magic, knife duels, breathtaking action and ... cliffhangers! Oh, and if you're fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, this series will not disappoint.
