Publisher's summary

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.

Now to wait for Book 6

I should have realized when the other characters / story lines had 2 book arcs that this one wouldn’t be any different. I can hardly wait for Book 6 to come out in the Bridge Kingdom series so I can see how the finale goes to the entire series. It’s been a good one to follow through via Audible.

Not about the book at all

I’ve only made it to chapter ten but considering I’ve read the other ones I know I’ll love this one too. My problem is the female narrator! Whyyyyy does she end most of her words with an “uh” sound, it’s so painfully distracting and I’m having such a hard time listening.

Every single book is a masterpiece, I really can’t wait for the next book and hopefully more 😭

Plot twists and political intrigue at its finest

This must be the fastest paced book in The Bridge Kingdom series, with as many plot twists as there could be. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Ahnna better, even if at some points, I’ve found her too naive (I believe Lara will remain my favorite, as morally grey as she is). I’m so looking forward to reading the final book because the stakes are higher than ever.

Cliffhanger

I reread this series because it had been a while since I originally read Bridge Kingdom. I was so disappointed to find this to be a part 1. I know most of the series has been like this but I just hate loose ends. The story was good, full of intrigue that keeps you guessing. Whereas previous books have given the lead some big thing that had strife thrown in, poor Ahna has had nothing but strife thrown in on this one. I can’t wait to read the next installment…..someday.

Can't Get Enough

I devoured the first 5 books. I didn't know there would be another. Now, I'm desperately searching for a book 6 release date. If you're on the fence about this purchase, take the leap. The series is wonderful.

Bridge Kingdom Core

if you're a fan of the previous installments, you'll love this one too. Personally I would have loved a little but more 🌶 and internal exploration of romantic feelings but overall a very good read. Bummed we'll have to wait till 2026 to get our full story. nice job all around.
