Publisher's Summary

What if you fell in love with the one person you’d sworn to destroy? 

Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both legendary evil - and legendary promise. The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his enemies, including Lara’s homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom. 

But as she infiltrates her new home - a lush paradise surrounded by tempest seas - and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her and Aren impossible to ignore. Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the savior of her people?

The ending 🥲

It took a while for me to get into this book. But in the last stretch damn was I invested!

It’s about a princess being married off to a kind of another territory. But what the king doesn’t know is the princess is a spy wanting to take over their import/export to save her home land. Throughout the book the princess learns more about about this new land she has been married into. She finds out there are things that she was not told growing up and things she was lied too about. After getting attached to this new land, will she still destroy it to save her home people?

Amazing!

I went into this book after having a huge reading slump. And it was fantastic! Well written, easy to follow even though I personally don’t like political books. I have this book 4.5/5 but will give it 5/5 as I can’t do a half. It was great. Diving into the next book straight away :)

Give it a chance

It's a story with a strong female lead, which I like. They world-building I good and the plot is interesting. However, I reunited it for my self by reading the summary of the secound book

Enjoyable Fantasy Fiction

I really did love this story. I found myself wanting to hear more, listening at any opportunity - although I found myself cringing at the "male" voices performed by the female narrator, and the female voices by the male narrator were almost as bad - that of course is just a personal annoyance and others might be quite fine with them.

Take note that although there isn't really "gratuitous sex scenes", there was a very small amount of cuss language used if that's likely to offend.

I will definitely be back for book two.

Screaming!

Will not give spoilers, but at the edge of my seat. Greatly portrayed characters and a story that pulls you in. Will recommend to all.
