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.

A dislike to love, forbidden love action packed story
"I was overjoyed to return to The Bridge Kingdom world and revisit Ithacana. I was quickly reminded how strong and fierce Ahnna is and how determined she is to do what’s best for her kingdom. Ithacana now finds itself impoverished after the war, so Ahnna considers it her duty to accept the arranged marriage with the Prince of Harendell. Within minutes of meeting James, her bethothed’s brother, she saves his life. This sets up an interesting dynamic between the two. James knows that Ahnna is not at all suited for his brother. The women of Harendelle do not fight and do not wear pants, so Ahnna must restrict who she is and try her best to suppress her true self. She wants to go home, but the knowledge that her kingdom will suffer, makes her stay in a dangerous environment, where people are out to kill her. This is a dislike to love, forbidden love story, full of action, palace intrigue, attempted assassinations and murder. It ends in a cliffhanger which will keep me waiting impatiently for the next book."
