“Propulsive and unstoppable, Defy the Dusk is a furious machine of a book, with a tremendous heart at its core. I would follow Lirien, Vox, and the crew anywhere.”—Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tempest

“The stakes couldn’t be higher in Defy the Dusk, an action-packed post-apocalyptic fantasy where the dark is deadly. Nobody writes enemies to lovers (and back again!) like Danielle L. Jensen.”—Jennifer Estep, New York Times bestselling author of Queen of Foxes

“Fantasy fans, this is a must-read. A fresh, gritty, high-octane world is the perfect backdrop for a memorable cast locked in a fight for survival that is sure to grip readers from the first page.”—Elise Kova, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Arcana Academy

“I didn’t know I needed a Mad Max–inspired fantasy until I read this book. Riveting. Fresh. Unique. Defy the Dusk is a standout favorite read of the year!”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Devney Perry

“Defy the Dusk is fabulous. At its heart it is about friendship, love, forgiveness and redemption. It is also Mad Max with magic and monsters, and it is awesome. Danielle L. Jensen is a wonderful writer, weaving plot, character, edge-of-your-seat thrills and a whole ton of heart into a rollercoaster ride that will drag you from the first page to the last. Highly recommended.”—John Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author

“Defy the Dusk has all my favorite things: found family, wickedly great worldbuilding, and a hero and heroine having a sexy good time (with some murder on the side!).”—New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert

“In a stunning, fast-paced fantasy, Jensen delivers delicious yearning and characters readers will root for as they race to outrun tragedy and reclaim the night.”—Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones

“This is a thrilling post-apocalyptic fantasy set in a brutal world where monsters rule the night, and the only way to survive is to outrun them. Between the nonstop action and the angsty forbidden romance, I had to keep turning the page.”—Demi Winters, New York Times bestselling author of The Ashen series

“This book is equal parts emotional and suspenseful as readers enter a world that is unlike anything theyʼve read before. The magic system feels familiar but unique at the same time, so readers will find their footing fast. The characters are flawed but endearing, and the pacing will make hearts pound as Lirien and Vox try their best to break from their molds and cultivate the light in a dark world. It is definitely one not to miss.”—Booklist, starred review

“Jensen delivers an exhilarating adventure that immerses readers in a world reminiscent of Mad Max, blending relentless action, compelling world-building, and a satisfying slow-burn romance into an unforgettable read.”—Library Journal, starred review

“Danielle Jensen’s worldbuilding is strikingly original and terrifying. . . . With an enthralling plot, enticing romance, and a willingness to confront the tolls of leadership, this dystopian epic fires on all cylinders.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
