Title: Defiance (Defiance #1)
Author: C.J. Redwine
Release date: August 28, 2012
Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.
At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.
The cover only makes me more excited for this book! I can’t wait!
What do you guys think?
never heard of this book before but no i am super excited to read it. the title is amazing. i like how it has the woods in the background and shows the girl looking in the distance. I don’t like how fake the girl appears. the summary is amazing.
This cover looks amazing. I’m totally in love with it.
I am in love with it, too! It’s the castle buried underneath the billows of the dress that is making me drool, haha. 😀
I freaking LOVE this cover. HarperCollins always has the most gorgeous covers, and I loooove that she isn’t in a prom dress, ha! It’s just absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to read Defiance.

Haven’t heard of this book before but the cover is gorgeous!
This cover is rather pretty. I like that even though it’s a pretty girl in a dress there’s other aspects too like the trees and the buildings.
Love the city that’s in the shadow of her cloak.
Love this series! The author is super nice too 🙂
