Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory. The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?Be Specific About Epithetical Books Defy (Defy #1)

True beauty is what lies inside of us, not what the world sees. A beautiful shell that houses a vile soul becomes sullied over time. But an outer shell, imperfect as it may be, that houses a beautiful, shines with that beauty, radiating it for all who have eyes to see. This is a Dystopian novel about Alexa , a girl who had joined the military with her twin brother disguised as a boy when she was thirteen to avoid some other horrific destiny , Its been ten years since their country had startedMulan would fucking NEVER. Screw the love triangle. Screw the overwhelming romance. This is not a fantasy book. This is a love story. Don't look for anything beyond that. Hearts flutters. Desire courses. Cheeks flush. Blood flows overwhelmingly to the penis instead of the brain. WHERE IS MY PROMISED MULAN?!I am just so bloody tired of so-called bad-ass heroines who do fucking nothing to prove that they're capable. I am so fucking sick of heroines who spend their supposedly ass-kicking selves
ROUNDING UP TO 1.5 STARS.Why i thought this would be a really good book i have no idea. Got my hopes to high for this one, and look where it got me.Why do i do this to myself? It actually started really good! At the beginning '4 stars!' was constantly popping up in my head. This is, like, a retelling of Mulan (<--- if you haven't seen that dinsey movie what are you doing with your life?), and i am shocked it wasn't mentioned at all (in the synopsis, on the book cover, ect). Did the author
See more on my blog.This book started out with one of the most horrific displays of misogyny possible, and then it carries on in a mediocre fashion after that. I probably would have finished reading the book if I hadnt been so pissed off from the start, but it wasnt good enough to carry me through my distaste, so I DNF-ed at about halfway through, when I realized that the main character wasnt going to shut up about all the toned and muscled torsos around. (Youd think they were painted in neon
3.5 StarsFor a book filled with cliche's left and right, this actually wasn't too bad. I'm tempted, however, to give this three stars for the sheer fact that nothing in this book had me thinking. I knew who Alexa was going to end up with, I knew what Damian was, I knew Ryland knew Alexa's secret ... and so forth. Pretty much the entire time I knew what was going to happen - and yet, it wasn't even that bad (you're probably like what?). Which is really weird for me to admit. Usually, I don't
4.5Oh how I love this book. Suspense, secrets, suspicions, and sacrifices all mixed with love, war, bravery, and heroism. This is a must read. I'd recommend it to just about anyone who loves a strong willed woman. The only reason it didn't receive its full 5 stars was due to the slow pass and the ting of annoyance at times of reading. Alex, or shall I say Alexa, is a girl disguised as a man fighting as the Princes second top guard with her twin brother in chance to escape the inevitable
