Defy the Night

Tessa Cade is an apothecary apprentice in the Wilds of Kandala, where a mysterious sickness is spreading and the only cure, Moonflower Elixir, is sold to the wealthy. She has watched people suffer for too long. Each night she breaks the royal edicts, steals Moonflower petals and leaves elixir for those who cannot pay.

In the palace, Prince Corrick holds the post of the King's Justice. He hands out brutal punishments and makes agitators and outlaws afraid of him, and he knows he has to play the part with conviction.

Elixir is running short, rebellion is close, and the King's hold on power is weak. Corrick believes his brother is the kingdom's best chance of survival.

An act of terrible cruelty brings the prince and the outlaw face to face. They are natural enemies, yet they feel a spark between them and have to make a choice that neither wants. They can follow their instincts and try to destroy each other, or they can work together to save the kingdom.

This fantasy romance pairs a prince and an outlaw in a flirtation that turns dangerous as the sickness spreads and the throne wobbles. Whether the spark between them ignites, or they destroy each other first, is the question the book turns on.
