The Bridge Kingdom

Lara is a warrior princess trained in isolation with a clear mission: King Aren of the Bridge Kingdom is her enemy, and she intends to bring him down. The Bridge Kingdom of Ithicana controls the only route through a storm-ravaged world, enriching itself while depriving rival nations, including Lara's homeland. When she is sent there as a bride under the pretense of peace, Lara is determined to dismantle both the kingdom's defenses and those of its king. As Lara settles into her new home and learns more about the conflict over the bridge, she begins to question her own role in the struggle. Her feelings toward her husband shift from cold hostility to intense passion, forcing her to make a difficult choice about which kingdom to save and which to destroy. This edition includes two bonus chapters: "The Wedding" from Ahnna's perspective and "The Capture" from Jor's perspective.
