Waiting on Wednesday


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Defiance
By C.J. Redwine
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.


First, how cool is the cover? Kind of reminds me of Grave Mercy by R.L. Lafevers. The blurb sounds pretty awesome! Treason, sword wielding and wastelands! Sign me up!

  6. Yes, I LOVE this cover so much. I was pretty much fawning on it when I first saw it come out. I'm not dying for this one, but I am excited to hear about it, and if I hear good things, I'll pick it up. :P

  7. Wow. Not only do I love the cover, but the plot sounds intriguely alien as well. Protectors? Sounds a bit dystopian. Sign me up! I'm in! I'm in for this one.
