Defiant Knight: The Kings of Wayward Academy, Book 2

At Wayward Academy, power is a game — and Ren Davies just flipped the board.

When Myles's betrayal sends the carefully constructed hierarchy of the Kings into freefall, the last thing the protagonist expects is for the girl he dismissed as a pawn to become his most dangerous opponent. Ren Davies doesn't play by anyone's rules. She keeps her secrets close, her defenses closer, and her sharp tongue ready to cut down anyone who underestimates her — including him.

But underestimating Ren is exactly what started this war.

Set against the high-pressure world of elite academy sports and laced with a thread of something darker and more electric than ordinary competition, *Defiant Knight* cranks the tension of the Kings of Wayward Academy series to a fever pitch. Every move he makes, Ren counters. Every wall he builds, she finds the crack. The push-and-pull between them is equal parts infuriating and irresistible, a collision of two people who refuse to yield — even as the lines between enemy and ally dissolve into something far more dangerous.

She's not just threatening his plans anymore. She's threatening everything he thought he wanted.

With razor-sharp banter, simmering chemistry, and a slow-burn romance wrapped in secrets that run deeper than anyone suspects, *Defiant Knight* proves that the most defiant move on the board might just be falling for the one person you were never supposed to trust.

The game has changed. Can he afford to lose?
