Defy the Dusk

Danielle L. Jensen

Book 1 of The Sundering Duet

In a post-apocalyptic world where nightfall unleashes deadly creatures, a woman whose magic caused the catastrophe twenty years earlier is secretly working to topple the tyrant ruling the survivor convoy she calls home. When she is captured by the leader of a rival faction of night-fighters, she strikes an uneasy bargain to survive, and the tense alliance between them slowly shifts into something more complicated. It is a high-stakes, Mad-Max-inspired romantasy built around found family, political betrayal, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic.
