From The Publisher:
Heart-pounding romance and intense action wrapped in a spellbinding world. I was hooked from the first page!- Elise Kova, USA Today bestselling author of A Deal with the Elf King.
A warrior princess trained in isolation, Lara is driven by two certainties. The first is that King Aren of the Bridge Kingdom is her enemy. And the second is that she'll be the one to bring him to his knees.
The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom enriches itself and deprives its rivals, including Lara's homeland. So when she's sent as a bride under the guise of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture its impenetrable defenses. And the defenses of its king.
Yet as she infiltrates her new home and gains a deeper understanding of the war to possess the bridge, Lara begins to question whether she's the hero or the villain. And as her feelings for Aren transform from frosty hostility to fierce passion, Lara must choose which kingdom she'll save... and which kingdom she'll destroy.

I was engaged by the awful choices the protagonist had to make, and the trauma and brainwashing she had to overcome.
I’m honestly not really sure how to feel about this book. I would say it’s a very plot-driven book though it was predictable. Nothing bad but no wow factor to me personally.
Loved the first scene
Violent
