About this book
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. Don’t miss any of Danielle L. Jensen's Bridge Kingdom series: THE BRIDGE KINGDOM • THE TRAITOR QUEEN • THE INADEQUATE HEIR • THE ENDLESS WAR • THE TWISTED THRONE

What readers are saying
Alyssa M.5/5
"This installment follows King Aren’s twin sister, Ahnna, and Prince James, and their story completely pulled me in. Danielle L. Jensen created such an intense dynamic between these two from the very beginning. The attraction between them is immediate and undeniable, but what really makes their story shine is everything they have to endure together. The trials they face after meeting — both external conflicts and personal struggles — push their characters in ways that make their connection feel even stronger. Watching them navigate danger, tension, and their own growing feelings kept me completely invested. The chemistry between Ahnna and James is powerful, the stakes feel incredibly high, and the emotional moments land perfectly. This was easily a five-star read for me. By the end, I was on the edge of my seat and immediately ready to dive into the final book in the series. ["

Rhiannon GreenI adore this whole series
"3.75 I just really enjoy this series. And while this was not my favorite book of the series , it was still a really great story. Seeing all the connections across the Bridge Kingdom characters and kingdoms is just awesome. I love seeing all the puzzle pieces come together. Especially seeing Ahnna's development from Aren's twin sister from the first duology to now. My biggest critique would be the romance. I just felt like something was missing between James and Ahnna. There was insta-love but the yearning and burn could have been stronger. Their banter wasn't as good as that of Aren and Kara and Karis and Zara, so I'm hoping that will progress in the final book. Like all the books in this series, the twists and turns are superb and keep you engaged and guessing the whole time! Although the end was frustrating, it's definitely setting up for the finale to be epic. I can't wait to dive right into the last book of this series as it releases tomorrow! ["
