NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In the fifth novel of the thrilling Bridge Kingdom series, a princess promised in marriage falls for the wrong brother, and their forbidden love threatens to destroy a fragile peace between kingdoms—from the New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood.
A commander who bled to defend her people, Ahnna is haunted by two beliefs: The first is that she failed to protect Ithicana from invasion. And the second is that saving her homeland means leaving it behind forever.
The Maridrinians left Ithicana in ruins and its people impoverished. So when the wealthy kingdom of Harendell claims Ahnna as a bride for its crown prince, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to gain influence as the future queen—and to control the gold that comes with the throne.
Yet Ahnna swiftly discovers that beneath the beautiful surface of Harendell’s court is a dark underbelly of schemes, duplicity, and the pursuit of power. The only individual who holds himself above the politics is not her future husband but his infuriating half brother, James. And as she begins to question whether Harendell is the ally it claims to be, Ahnna finds herself drawn into a forbidden attraction to the wrong prince.
As deadly plots tighten around her, Ahnna must decide whether saving her people will be achieved as a bride . . . or as a blade.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Danielle L. Jensen’s epic romantasy, the cost of love is staggeringly steep. Desperate to protect her beloved homeland of Ithicana, Princess Ahnna agrees to an arranged marriage to the heir of neighbouring Harendell, hoping to cement their alliance. Once in the foreign land, though, she finds herself drawn not to her betrothed, but to the king’s illegitimate son James. Instantly, the path to securing peace for her people becomes more complicated than Ahnna ever imagined. Jensen’s world-building is first-rate as she fills this story with long-standing political feuds and personal grudges that span generations. She jabs and feints as the bond between Ahnna and James grows physically and emotionally, building up to a torrent of royal-court backstabbing that threatens to leave no one spared. And when the dust settles, this instalment in the Bridge Kingdom series will have you hungry to read the next.
