About Defend the Dawn
With moonflower supplies running out and Kandala still divided by disease and unrest, Tessa Cade has moved from masked outlaw to palace advisor. When an uncertain chance of help appears in the neighbouring kingdom of Ostriary, she and Prince Corrick set out across dangerous waters, where trust is fragile, feelings are unresolved, and no one is quite what they seem.
