Bloomsbury presents Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Chase Brown, Lexie McDougall and Christopher Ragland.

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 listeners 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 . . .©2022 Brigid Kemmerer (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

not as good as first book

this book was good it started to pick up near the end. I would say it wasnt as good as the first one but, still twists and turns.

Narrators

I started this series because I loved Chase Brown’s performance in another audiobook and he didn’t disappoint here either. Even better than that, the story has been just as entertaining. The other narrators are amazing as well.

Voice Actors are Excellent; Story series is incredible

The girl who does Tessa’s voice is perfect, as is the person who does the voice for the Outlaw. I think the voice who does Corrick doesn’t really match how I envision the Prince—he can seem too harsh at times—but overall it’s one of the best audiobook series. I relisten to the first book in the series a lot; I’m sure I’ll do the same with this one.

Amazing!

I'm super picky when it comes to narrators for audio books, but they second I sampled a clip of Defy the Night, I bought it instantly. The narrators did such an amazing job bringing this book to life. I absolutely loved them in Defy the Night, and I'm so glad they added another for The Outlaw.

I've seen this series pop up a few times of booktok, and decided to give it a go after being in a bit of a book slump, and I'm so glad I did. This cured my book slump right up! Everything about this series is amazing!

This is the second series I've read of Brigid's, and in my opinion, this series far surpassed the other. I couldn't stop listening. Right from the very 1st sentence in book 1, I was hooked, and ended up listening to both books in 2 days. I do wish I would've known that this was going to be a trilogy, but I'm somehow going to have to patiently wait until January for book 3.

Great story

The end really begs you to finish the series! At that point you cannot stop.
