| Description from Publisher: | ||||
| A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter.
And it is bait she fully intends to take. Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she’s trying to free – the husband she betrayed. With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who – and what – she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself. | ||||

There are barely words!
This starts not long after the first book ends. Lara has accepted the consequences of her kingdom-destroying mistake and is drowning her sorrows in Harendelle. Upon learning that Aren has been taken prisoner by her father, she risks reaching out to Ahnna at Eranahl, determined to help. Aren is imprisoned, being psychologically tortured for information on where Lara is and how to attack Eranahl, where most of the Ithicanians took refuge after the bridge was taken. From there, it's daring escapes, epic battles and adventures, near-death experiences, and torn hearts attempting to mend. The adventure and action in this is downright awesome. Everything written so well I could see it all like it was happening in front of me. Heart and wit, tenderness and love. Every character rich. The political aspects intriguing and easily understood, as was the military strategy and battles. I knew it had to end a certain way, but still LOVED every minute. In fact, those last few pages got me in the feels! | ||||
