Rebelii nopții (primul volum al seriei Rebelii nopții)

A strange disease spreads through Kandala. It makes strife worse across the realm. The only known cure needs rare petals from Floarea-Lunii. Corruption eats at the realm. The king rules with a harsh hand to hold it together.

In the wild lands, Tessa Cade helps the poor. She trains as an apothecary, one who makes medicine. She and her best friend, Wes, steal petals at night. They risk their lives to make and share the cure. Yet they cannot make enough for all who need it. Some say the cure has begun to fail. Revolt draws near. A cruel act by the king's law enforcer spurs Tessa to act. She slips into the royal palace to seek answers. What she finds makes her ask what saving Kandala might cost.

Brigid Kemmerer writes for young adults. She blends fantasy and romance with plots at court. The story pits duty against love and tests whom people can trust. It starts the Rebelii nopții series. Simona Ștefana Stoica translated this edition from the English Defy the Night.
