Instant New York Times Bestseller!

From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying dystopian fantasy, perfect for fans of Powerless and Shatter Me.

A desperate prince. A daring outlaw. A revolution one spark away from catching fire.

A plague is sweeping the kingdom, and the cure exists--but only for those who can afford it. Tessa Cade, an apothecary's apprentice, has watched the rich live and the poor die for too long. Every night, she pulls on a mask, slips past the royal guard, and steals what the crown is hoarding, smuggling the cure to the dying. The only person she trusts is the masked stranger who fights at her side, the boy who has become her partner, and her heart.

Prince Corrick is the King's Justice. Feared, hated, and bound by duty to crush anyone who defies his brother's reign, he doles out brutal punishments because the kingdom is one rebellion away from collapse. He knows his brother's hold on the throne is the only thing keeping desperate people from open war. He has secrets that could end him, including sympathies he cannot afford and a girl he never should have let himself love.

When their two worlds collide, Tessa and Corrick will have to choose: save the kingdom they were born into or ignite the revolution that will burn it down.

A pre-industrial dystopian fantasy of plague, class warfare, and slow-burn enemies to lovers romance that will leave readers breathless for more.©2021 Brigid Kemmerer (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Brigid Kemmerer has woven her compelling heroine into a kinetic tale of the tension between duty, love and trust.

Immersive and engaging, Defy the Night is a romantic epic that blends magic and politics with a deft hand.

Defy the Night is a twisty, edge-of-your-seat fantasy that has it all--outlaws, court intrigue, rebellions, and romance. Addicting from page one!

A captivating combination of thrilling adventure, swoon-worthy romance, and royal intrigue, Defy the Night is everything I crave in a fantasy romance.

Defy the Night has everything you want in a story: a complex, dangerous world where anyone could be your enemy, a tortured hero, and my personal favorite: plenty of kissing. This book is unputdownable.

A high stakes fantasy with heart and originality. Kemmerer is a master of nuance and political intrigue, and readers will fall in love with her characters while they race through the pages.

A breathtaking, tender, and fiercely page-turning story, Defy the Night has left me thinking and questioning, which is the best thing any book can do.

The multifaceted cast of characters sparkles. . . . A foreboding twist on the tale of Robin Hood, Defy the Night is a promising series debut.

The slow-burn romance—between an idealist with straightforward moral beliefs and a pragmatist trapped by duty—will keep the pages turning, as will the scheming of the king’s consuls and the rebellion brewing in the background . . . . The personal and the political intertwine in this engaging series opener.

Kemmerer employs dual narration with a deft hand. . . . a page-turning read.

Defy the Night hits the ground running and never slows down. . . . Brigid Kemmerer takes readers on a breakneck journey about power, deceit and the price of progress. . . . Thoughtful, multifaceted and truly character-driven, Defy the Night is ultimately a hopeful story that shows how those who dare to envision a better future also have the power to make it a reality.

Ik im soooooo late to this book but omg? It was so good? I liked this book so much I tabbed it.

“Please don’t ask.
Please don’t hate me”

I wanted to cry. This book was so well done from start to finish. Tessa the main character was soft but strong. She had such a caring heart for the people. The way I fell in love with corricks character was so unexpected. I felt so bad for him and everything he had to do. I’m sooo glad I read this book.
