About this series
Which is best? To cut away the parts of ourselves we can't accept, or to find a way to accept them anyway?
It's been a month since Redrinna journeyed home only to find it in ruins and come face to face with the enemy, Osiris, himself. Now, she's tormented by unrelenting guilt, indescribable nightmares, and long, sleepless nights.
Tak left his home to escape his past, regardless of whether or not the Dragon Kin is where he truly belongs. But as Redrinna grows more distant, he can't seem to find a way to fit in and not be a burden.
Together, they set off to find another dragon, but their enemy is also on the move. An attack on the group lands them in the hands of the Torijin, the last survivors of a brutal genocide nearly a hundred years ago, who are being hunted by a demon that craves human flesh.
Redrinna is determined to keep her friends from getting hurt, no matter what it costs her.
Tak is desperate to belong, no matter what he has to hide.
Now, they must find a way to leave the past behind before they destroy the Dragon Kin completely.

The Eridian Empire is rife with discontent and animosity. Now, Imperial Princess Redrinna has a choice: stay trapped in a life that terrifies her or betray the trust of her parents—the two people she loves more than anything. Sheltered from most of the Empire's turmoil, Redrinna has spent her entire life preparing for her eighteenth birthday—the day she will inherit the throne of a country she has never seen with her own eyes. Her parents believe she is capable of greatness, but she believes she is doomed to fail. Then, her entire world is turned upside down by a betrayal she never thought possible, a betrayal that leaves her nearly dead. With the help of a creature long thought extinct—a dragon—Redrinna uses the situation to run, determined to finally be free. But earning her freedom isn't that simple. Somone knows she survived. To win her freedom for good, she may have to find a strength she's never had in order to fight an evil long forgotten but responsible for the Empire's dark creation and eager to do worse. And if Redrinna can't, then the little she has left—her friend, her homeland, and her freedom—might be lost forever. Defy is the first in a young adult epic fantasy series packed with unforgettable characters, mystery, and adventure. If you like reluctant heroes, dragons, and coming of age stories, then you'll love the first book in C.S. Doraga's Rise of the Empress series.
