King Harristan and his brother, Prince Corrick, rule with a heavy hand, publicly enforcing brutal laws to mask the desperate choices they make behind palace walls. Tessa Cade, an apprentice apothecary turned masked outlaw, risks her life stealing medicine to distribute to the poor, setting her on a collision course with the crown she despises. The trilogy opens with Defy the Night, a Robin Hood-inspired story of rebellion, trust, and sacrifice that introduces Kandala's stark class divide. Defend the Dawn raises the stakes as Tessa moves from outlaw to palace advisor, navigating dwindling elixir supplies and a fragile alliance with Corrick while revolution simmers in the streets. Destroy the Day brings the story to its conclusion as Corrick, held captive by the ruthless Oren Crane, must ally with a former enemy to fight his way back to Tessa, while she confronts betrayal, grief, and a fractured kingdom on the brink of collapse. Kemmerer blends fast-paced action with dual narration, sharp political intrigue, and a slow-burn romance throughout, building a richly imagined world where loyalty, justice, and love are constantly tested by scarcity, power, and the price of doing what's right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 3-book paperback trilogy, ready to gift or collect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced political fantasy with slow-burn romance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for fans of Sarah J.
