Defiant By: Brandon Sanderson
Caught between stars, Spensa glimpses humanity’s destiny – and her own strange gifts that may alter both forever.
After facing the ancient alien Delvers across the stars, Spensa returns home transformed, with new insights into her Cytonic abilities. But while she voyaged beyond Known Space, the Superiority tightened its grip. Now, Spensa must lead Skyward Flight in a desperate bid for freedom – before humankind and their galactic neighbors alike are crushed beneath the juggernaut of Superiority rule.
To defeat their mighty enemy, Spensa must master the full potential of her Cytonic powers. But will victory cost more than she imagined? Does using such gifts make her something less – or more – than human? Whatever her fate, the galaxy turns upon her choice.
Spensa’s final adventure concludes in Book 3 of Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward series. Will she secure humanity’s future among the stars – or doom them to eternal subjugation? The galaxy awaits her decision.
I aimed for a punchier and more dramatic style while preserving the key details. Please let me know if you would like me to modify or refine anything further!
