Defiance

Rise of the Iliri, Book 3

By: A.H. Hadley

Narrated by: Christina Cato

HER ONLY CHOICE IS TO CHANGE HER WORLD…

The leaders of her own country despise her kind. They assume that Salryc Luxx and every iliri crossbred are nothing more than expendable. But, if they can do the job, then the Conglomerate of Free Citizens is happy to use them. They win either way.

So they sent Sal to Anglia without pack. She can no longer hear their thoughts and can't smell her brothers. It's just her and Cyno killing their way across unending expanses of snow-covered mountains. Her mission is to assassinate the current king and replace him with someone sympathetic to the Conglomerate, but Sal wants more.

And she gets it. In a land where iliri are a myth, she's treated like a hero. Here, the people don't know they should hate her. All they know is that she may be the only thing standing between Anglia and the Terran Empire. To them, she may very well be their salvation.

If she's going to do this, she'll make sure at least one government on the continent supports her people. She just has to figure out how - without getting herself killed. Lurking deep in the icy wilderness may be the answer she needs. And it speaks her language.

My favorite series in the world!

I have read more books in my life that I could never hope to count them. Hadley and the Illiri sit at the very top of my favorites list. I’ve read them all and I was over the moon THRILLED when I found it they were being brought to life on audible. I’m checking back at least once a week waiting in the next in the series!

Always a Pleasure

Auryn is a master of storytelling! I can immerse myself in anything she writes because her attention to detail is just that good. Ms Cato does an admirable job pushing thru so many dialect and vocal changes. I do wish these had been made dual narration but that's a personal preference, and not a knock on Ms Cato. Fabulous audiobook series!

A great addition to the series

In this book we see Sal really come into her power. Anglia and all the fantastic characters there help her to become a true leader. Jase finally gets the recognition he deserves, and you can tell this is truly the beginning of her journey. Can’t wait for the next one.

So good!

Each audiobook gets better and better! I can’t wait for the next. A.H. Hadley is my all-time favorite author.

Fantastic

Love this whole book series and I’m loving the Audible versions just as much. Initially I was disappointed that there was no male narrator to go along with the female but she does such a fantastic job that I’m finding I’m not minding the lack of male narrator.

Experiencing a favorite series all over again.

I have read this series several times, recently I realized it is slowly being published on Audible. Although I had trouble at first with the characters sounding different than I had imagined in my head, I have quickly come to enjoy Christina Cato's narration. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Love this series!

I've read this series numerous times. This time, I was privileged to listen to it. Christina Cata does an awesome job at narration. She has employed a perfect method for telepathic communication that maintains the character's voice. As for the story... finally, the Iliri have respect. We are introduced to their ancestors and so much more. I can't wait for the next in the series to be ready for listening.
