The Twisted Throne

The Bridge Kingdom #5 

A commander who bled to defend her people, Ahnna carries two haunting truths: she could not protect Ithicana from invasion, and saving her homeland may require leaving it behind forever.

The Maridrinians left Ithicana in ruins, its people scattered and impoverished. So when the wealthy kingdom of Harendell claims her as a bride for its crown prince, Ahnna sees an opportunity—to gain influence, command the gold that comes with the throne, and shape a future for her people.

But Harendell’s glittering court hides a shadowed world of schemes, deception, and ruthless ambition. The only man who seems above it all is not her intended husband, but his infuriating half-brother, James. As Ahnna navigates the treacherous web of politics, she finds herself drawn to the wrong prince in ways that could destroy her carefully laid plans.

With deadly plots tightening around her, Ahnna faces a choice: will she save her people as a bride… or as a blade?
