Running is what Cara's good at. But even she can't run forever. It's time to fight back.

An evil immortal kept her from the guy she's falling in love with, drove a wedge between her and her best friend, and nearly took her life. Twice. Now she has her allies at her side, human and Pyx alike, and she's ready to fight.

Her best friend steadies her, her boyfriend helps her focus even as he sends her heart fluttering, and her uncle knows more than he's letting on. Cara will need all of that and more to challenge Messoryx. Because if they don't stop him, billions of people will die.

But they don't even know where he's hiding, or how he plans to kill so many humans. Cara has yet to harness her ability to stop his followers. Oh ... and if they don't find an alternative to save the dying planet, it will all be for nothing.

Cara needs to find some answers, and fast, because she's going to need more than sheer hope to stand up and fight.

DEFIANCE is the fifth and final book in the GREEN & GOLD series (and should be read following DAYBREAK). What sacrifices await as humans and Pyx band together with creatures of legends and myth to fight for a brighter tomorrow?

Find out in the thrilling final instalment of this coming-of-age contemporary fantasy, where differences become strengths, and acceptance might mean standing out to stand for something.
