The adult fantasy romance debut from the USA Today bestselling author of STOLEN SONGBIRD and DARK SHORES.
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 … 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?
This book is full of danger, betrayal, challenges, and angst. Lara and Aren are everything, half the time I wanted to jump right in during certain scenes and stop it. This book drew me in and I couldn’t put it down till I devour every word Danielle wrote. The story has a great arc, easy to follow, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book does have a cliffhanger. You won’t be sorry that you bought this book.
I had never listened to a story like this what a joy I sincerely hope there is a sequel this story was unfinished by far
Good book but unfortunately a cliff hanger
“You need me, because I know our enemy. I was raised by them to be their greatest weapon, and you’ve seen firsthand what I can do. What they never considered is that their greatest weapon might turn on them.”
Danielle spins a web of fantasy, romance, and adventure. Pick this one up for an addicting tale. It will have you clamoring for Book two! Like it has me.

The Bridge Kingdom is a new adult fantasy romance with lots ‘o action. This is hands down one of the best books I read this year. I went into reading it not knowing that this was a duology, so as it was getting closer and closer to the ending I got really nervous. I was thinking “no way can this have a good resolution in the next 22 minutes,” and I was right lol. There’s no way this could have worked as a standalone so I am thrilled there’s a second book coming!
Alright, onto what I really liked about TBK. My favorite thing is the action and fighting in this book, and Lara is a badass. Normally, I’m not big on fighting or action scenes because I can’t picture them well enough, but I had zero problems with these! And the characters – I either love them or love to hate them. Lara and Aren are probably my favorite couple I’ve read this year, I’m dying for book two.
The plot of this was very well executed. For me, the pacing is a bit slow to start, but it picked up pretty fast and I couldn’t put it down once I got hooked.
Heart-pounding romance and intense action wrapped in a spellbinding world. I was hooked from the first page!
