DescriptionFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, Defiant is the thrilling conclusion to the Skyward series, an epic saga of courage, resilience, and the fight for freedom. In a universe where humanity's survival is at stake, one girl's journey will determine the fate of the stars.
Spensa Nightshade has emerged from the Nowhere, profoundly changed by the revelations she encountered in the void between the stars. Face to face with the enigmatic and terrifying Delvers, Spensa has finally uncovered the truth about her mysterious Cytonic powers. Yet the galactic conflict rages on, and the Superiority's relentless quest for dominance continues unabated.
While Spensa was away, her valiant comrades in Skyward Flight have been holding the line, resisting the Superiority's advances and securing vital new alliances. But despite their efforts, the threat of galactic enslavement looms ever larger. Time is running out, and the fate of humanity—and countless other species—hangs in the balance.
With newly gained knowledge and abilities, Spensa must confront her deepest fears and bravely navigate the complexities of being Cytonic. Her extraordinary powers might be the key to victory, but they also come with unexpected and perilous challenges. As she grapples with her own identity and the immense responsibility resting on her shoulders, Spensa must decide just how far she is willing to go to secure freedom for herself, her friends, and the galaxy.
Defiant promises an exhilarating finale that will see either the dawn of a new era of freedom or the eternal subjugation of the galaxy. Brandon Sanderson masterfully weaves a narrative that is both heart-pounding and deeply emotional, exploring themes of sacrifice, identity, and the unyielding human spirit. Readers will be on the edge of their seats, eager to see if Spensa and her allies can turn the tide against the overwhelming forces of the Superiority.
Prepare yourself for a riveting journey beyond the stars with Defiant, where every decision could mean the difference between liberation and annihilation. The Skyward series concludes with an epic showdown that will leave readers breathless and inspired.
