The Defiant

De: Lesley Livingston

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

The darling of the Roman Empire is in for the fight of her life in this lush sequel to the acclaimed historical fantasy The Valiant.

Be brave, gladiatrix... And be wary. Once you win Caesar's love, you'll earn his enemies' hate.

Fallon was warned.

Now she is about to pay the price for winning the love of the Roman people as Caesar's victorious gladiatrix.

In this highly anticipated sequel to THE VALIANT, Fallon and her warrior sisters find themselves thrust into a vicious conflict with a rival gladiator academy, one that will threaten not only Fallon's heart - and her love for Roman soldier Cai - but the very heart of the ancient Roman Empire.

When dark treachery and vicious power struggles threaten her hard-won freedom, the only thing that might help the girl known as Victrix save herself and her sisters is a tribe of long-forgotten mythic Amazon warriors.

The only trouble is, they might just kill her themselves first.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"As with the first book, there are rousing battle scenes and plenty of action, a few more romantic moments, and a strong feminist message. Give this to fans of the 2017 Wonder Woman movie and those looking for intelligent and powerful women who glory in their strength and abilities."
-Booklist

my opinion

I always loved Rome. The God's and Godesss myths. Lesley Livingston has truly done a wonderful job put fantasy and fiction together...

My New Favorite Book of the Year

I liked this one so much better than the first. It was action packed and just so good! I didn't want this to end!

Just as excellent as book one!

I really loved this sequel. It was just as awesome as the first book. When I read The Valiant, it took me some time to get used to the narrator and the story, but this time it all seemed natural. The pacing was faster, and the story didn’t suffer from second book syndrome at all. I read it in one sitting and I’m already highly anticipating the next one.

Drama
