Three kingdoms on the brink of destruction. Three princes facing down ruinous fates. These are their stories...and those of the women who guided the way to glory.

In the kingdom of Idilea, where some are gifted with the power to shift into majestic drakken, Telleree Falk has lived in seclusion with her father for 17 years, hiding from the iron rule of Fior. The wolven nation murdered Idilea's royal family, enslaved the drakken, and plunged the land into darkness.

When Fiorian soldiers discover their refuge, Tell is forced to flee, saved only by two drakken: Soren, dark and enigmatic, and Lukas, a steadfast ally. Tell soon learns soldiers have kidnapped her best friend, sparking a desperate quest to save her, one that drops her headfirst into a growing rebellion that could free her homeland.

As she navigates the shifting bonds of loyalty, faith, and courage, Tell also grapples with her own feelings, torn between budding emotions for her friend and the dark desires stoked by Soren, who guards his own mysterious past.

With the future of her kingdom at stake, Tell's choices will determine whether Idilea rises from its ashes or falls forever under the wolven's reign.

Of Dragons and Defiance is perfect for fans of Feyre from A Court of Thorns and Roses and the ruthless realm established in Fourth Wing. It's also a standalone novel that also serves as the first book in the Three Kingdoms trilogy, which explores three different kingdoms set in one unique world.
