Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the thrilling conclusion to an epic space adventure, where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. In the final instalment of the Skyward series, Defiant, we follow Spensa as she defies all odds and faces unimaginable risks to save the world she loves from ultimate destruction.

Spensa has returned from the enigmatic realm known as the Nowhere, forever altered by the chilling revelations she encountered in the space between the stars. In this void, she confronted the ominous Delvers and unpicked the secrets behind her unique Cytonic abilities. These revelations answer some, but not all, of the burning questions that have plagued her since she discovered her extraordinary gifts.

Meanwhile, the relentless force known as the Superiority continues its quest for galactic domination. During Spensa's absence, her loyal team, Skyward Flight, has valiantly held off the oppressive forces of Winzik and even managed to secure a few invaluable allies. Yet, the struggle is far from over. The relentless march of the Superiority threatens not only humanity but the entire galaxy, and the sands of time are running perilously thin.

To stand any chance against these formidable foes, Spensa must harness every bit of knowledge and power she gleaned from the Nowhere. However, the true extent and complexity of her Cytonic nature present daunting challenges. As Spensa wrestles with these newfound abilities, she faces an agonising dilemma: how far is she prepared to go for victory? The price of success might mean sacrificing not only herself but also the friends she holds dear.

In Defiant, Brandon Sanderson masterfully weaves an intense narrative filled with high-stakes action, intricate world-building, and deep emotional arcs. Spensa's journey will culminate in a final battle that will either liberate humanity or consign it to eternal despair.

Defiant is a gripping, heart-pounding conclusion to a beloved series, a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the undying hope of a girl who dares to dream beyond the stars.
