Defiant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995142244)

On the wild planet of Talamh, humanity thrived...

...until the Alfur conquered their world.

Now, defeated and broken, humanity serves their alien overlords.

And looks to the stars for a hero.

Rydian Holt is nothing, nobody-just another human from the slums of Talamh. But when his mother is caught up in the slaughter of a fledgeling resistance group, Rydian's entire family is thrown into infamy. His fellow humans brand him traitor, while the Alfur hail his mother a hero. Desperate to clear his name, Rydian must delve into his mother's past, and the secrets she sought to uncover. Secrets about the Alfur, about their alien technology-and the mysterious Light that powers their world.
