Defiance by C.J. Redwine
Publication: August 28, 2012
By: Balzer & Bray
This cover alone makes me want to BE Rachel...just sayin'
From Goodreads:
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.
