Defiance

C. J. Redwine

In a city ruled by a brutal Commander, Rachel Adams harbors a dangerous secret: she is trained in sword fighting and survival, skills forbidden to women. When her father is declared dead, she refuses to accept it and embarks on a perilous quest to find him, defying the city's oppressive laws. Tasked with protecting her is Logan, the apprentice who once broke her heart, now bound by duty and a complicated past. Together, they must navigate the treacherous Wasteland, facing deadly threats and uncovering a conspiracy that could ignite a war.
