Title:ENDURE (Defy #3)
Author: Sara B. Larson
Release Date: January 5, 2016
Publisher: Scholastic Press



The remarkable third novel in Sara B. Larson's bestselling Defy series!

At last, Alexa and King Damian are engaged to be married. But their lives are far from safe. The kingdom of Antion is under siege, and Rylan is a prisoner of the enemy. Even worse, Alexa remains at the mercy of the evil Dansiian Rafe, who controls her mind and can force Alexa to kill or harm Damian at any moment. Despite this, Alexa is determined to rescue Rylan, which soon leads her far from Damian and deep into enemy territory.

When she arrives, what awaits her is deadlier than anything she could have ever imagined: an army of black sorcerers, and a horrifying plot to destroy the world as Alexa knows it. Will she be able to gather the strength to free herself, protect the love of her life, and save the land? Will there ever be true peace?

Acclaimed author Sara B. Larson has woven a stunning, romantic, and evocative finale to the Defy trilogy, that is sure to leave readers breathless until the very last page. 

So what do you think? Will you be adding this to your pile? What are you dying to read this week?

Now on to the post! 

IGNITE PLAYLIST

I listen to music all the time when I’m writing, so naturally I have playlists for each of my books, and IGNITE is no different! A lot of what I listen to is instrumental, and I love original scores from movies in particular. Probably because I imagine my books as movies in my mind as I write them. One of my biggest dreams is to have my book made into a movie, mostly so I can hear the musical score! But I do have other artists whose music inspires me as well. So here is the playlist for IGNITE!





My Kind of Love - Emeli Sandé









Atlas – Catching Fire Soundtrack  - Coldplay





Human – Christina Perri



Breath of Life - Florence + the Machine



Overjoyed – Bastille



I can’t tell you how excited I get when a new movie releases with gorgeous music, or when I hear a new song that I just adore. It makes me so excited to go write! Music is honestly one of the biggest parts of my creative process. Thank you for having me today to talk about the music that inspired me while writing IGNITE!


Thanks for sharing Sara!!! I love this playlist!!!!





About Sara:

Sara loves writing, reading, and dessert--but the order varies by the day. She wrote her first book in second grade about a woman who had a premature baby, complete with a "to scale" drawing of the baby's size--while her mom was pregnant. To say she was a bit precocious is putting it lightly. Now that she’s an adult, she writes books for teens that have magic and romance and kick-butt girls (and very few premature babies). She lives in Utah with her husband, two young sons and baby girl. She writes during naptime and the hours when most people are sleeping. Her husband claims that she should have a degree in "the art of multitasking." On occasion you will find her hiding in a bubble bath with a book and some Swedish Fish. she is represented by Josh Adams of Adams Literary and her YA debut DEFY is coming January '14 from Scholastic!

About DEFY




A lush and gorgeously written debut, packed with action, intrigue, and a thrilling love triangle.



Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory.

The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?
