About this listen

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 her as a bride for its crown prince, Ahnna 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 built upon 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.

I have listened to all the popular books of this genre but nothing beats Bridge Kingdom series in my opinion. I can’t believe it’s free on audible. Enjoyable right from the start but very addictive towards the end. The plot, the twist and of course the love story all so well written and presented. Both male and female narrators were excellent. I can’t wait for the next one!

Absolute best!

So many twists and turns in this book. I love James and Ahnna’s characters but won’t add spoilers in my review. I couldn’t put this book down. Finished dramatically leaving me looking up the approximate release date for book 6.
I can’t wait!

Excitement and suspense throughout! Twisted characters and storyline, so a very apt title.

Danielle L. Jensen has done it AGAIN! The Twisted Throne delivers everything I crave in a fantasy romance—political intrigue, high stakes, forbidden romance, and characters who make my heart ache in the best way possible.

Ahnna is a fierce, determined protagonist navigating a treacherous court, and her struggle to help Ithicana had me absolutely hooked. The tension between duty and desire? Perfection. And James… ohhh, be still my heart. The slow-burn, the angst, the impossible choices—this book kept me on the edge of my seat!

What You’ll Find in The Twisted Throne:
⚔️ Political intrigue & power struggles
💔 Forbidden romance & yearning
👑 Marriage of convenience (but make it dangerous)
🔥 Swoony slow-burn tension
💥 High-stakes action & betrayal

And THAT ENDING?! 😱 The cliffhanger left me absolutely shattered—I need the next book immediately!
Jensen’s writing is immersive, the emotions are gut-wrenching, and the world-building is as rich as ever. This is the kind of book that lingers long after the final page. If you loved The Bridge Kingdom, you need to read this!

The Twisted Throne is hands down the best fantasy romance I’ve ever read. It’s a gripping mix of political intrigue, complex, multidimensional characters, and beautifully crafted world-building. What makes it stand out even more is that it manages to deliver all the tension and richness of epic fantasy without relying on magic—which makes the stakes feel even more real.

I was completely immersed from start to finish, and now that it’s over, I honestly feel a little heartbroken that I can’t keep living in this world. This isn’t just a good book—it’s an unforgettable experience.

An Absolute Masterpiece

Oh my! This book is just as amazing as the rest of the series!

Ahnna has been present through every one of the Bridge Kingdom series so far and yet she remained mostly an enigma, up until now!

Her storyline stems from the same starting point as Aren and Lara's did and, although she hates it, there are quite a few parallels between her story and her brother's.

The Twisted Throne starts right in the action, flows into character growth and ends with a major bang! That cliffhanger? It's a thing of beauty! There is a plenty of resolution to the main arc of the book but there is also so much in question and so much drama to occur.

I have really loved the relationship between James and Ahnna. James won't be stealing Keris' crown in my mind but he is most definitely a great MMC. And Ahnna, lovely, complex, strong, stubborn Ahnna is very much in keeping for the strong MFC that Danielle writes so well.

Now, the question is... What to do until book 6 comes out?!

As per the previous instalments in this series, the audiobook is amazing, the narrators do an excellent job bringing this book to life!

I loved this one!
