Defender of Walls

Written by Tanya Bird

Narrated by Timothy Campbell

Keep her inside. Keep her alive.

Blake Suttone has a stomach full of grief and no food. A decade of famine has taken its toll on the splintered kingdom, but it is the merchants who suffer most. A wall stands between the hungry and the food, and the kingdom’s defenders stand guard atop it. Desperate times lead to desperate acts, and Blake will do whatever is necessary to ensure her family survives. But a growing attachment to a certain commander was never part of the plan. Now the man protecting the walls seems determined to guard her too.

Commander Harlan Wright was raised on a diet of training and discipline. His mind is calloused and his heart closed. These are not faults in a defender but assets. Harlan’s path is clear, until he meets a merchant girl who pulls him in a dangerous new direction. Blake might be a fighter, but she is fighting a losing battle. As the walls continue to go up, Harlan must choose between head and heart, duty and love.

This is the first book in the medieval dystopian series Kingdom of Walls. If you enjoy high-emotion romance with plenty of action, then this dark star-crossed lovers tale is for you.

Reviews for Defender of Walls

[Natalie Geiler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good book and excellent narration, apart from Blake's voice which I found far too shaky, always sounding like she's on the verge of crying, which goes completely against who she is. Also, the author could have given us a little (or a lot) more detail when a certain couple finally gets together... ;-)

Great story, I enjoyed it and am starting the next one.

What an adorable story with a top-notch narrator. The story is sweet and engaging. It’s a quick listen with an easy to follow plot and it’s made even more magical by the man who narrates.

I went into this book completely blind and absolutely found it well worth it I definitely would recommend this series even though this is the first the glimpse of the second book I already know it's going to be great
