Ignite (Defy, #2)

by Sara B. Larson

In the kingdom of Antion, peace has at long last been restored. Now that King Hector's reign of terror is over, the newly crowned King Damian, along with his most trusted guard, Alexa, must focus on rebuilding Antion and reclaiming the hope of their people. But the wounds of the past are no as easily mended as Alexa and Damian had hoped. And to further complicate matters, Alexa still harbors a secret love for Damian, a love she refuses to acknowledge for the sake of Antion, and for the sake of the king himself.

When new threats to the kingdom surface--including an assassination attempt on Damian--blame is cast on the once-friendly nation of Blevon. Alexa knows things are not what they seem, however, and once again the fate of her country hangs in the balance. Will Alexa be able to protect her king and find the true enemy before it's too late?

Filled with romance and treachery, magic and violence, this stunning sequel to Defy whisks readers off on another thrilling adventure.

I was so happy to be back in this world. I loved Defy, and NEEDED to know what happened next. Larson took me on an emotional ride with lots of fighting, lots of plotting, lots of swoony romance, and just more of Alexa. I have to say, I have no idea how Alexa can resist Damian. It pained me to hear him pour his heart out, over and over again. I just wanted to reach into the book and shake her. We have new evil-baddies to hate, and we get a peek into the magical side of this world (more details with this stuff please!). Great read, and I totally pre-ordered Endure, because that ending left me totally hanging.
