NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “An epic, action-packed tale of love, revenge, and betrayal.”—Jennifer Estep, author of Kill the Queen

In the second novel of the heart-pounding Bridge Kingdom series, one woman fights to win back her throne, her people, and the love of the man she’s betrayed—from the New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood.

A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched as Ithicana is 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 on the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king but to liberate the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches, using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. Yet 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 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.

Includes a brand new, never-before-seen bonus chapter from Sarhina’s point of view

5 (Perfeito)

A diferença entre o primeiro e o segundo livros foi gigantesca, e a autora evoluiu muito.
Com uma narrativa muito mais completa, ela entregou batalhas eletrizantes, políticas e maquinações bem elaboradas e muitas emoções. Tudo isso ajudou a manter um ritmo frenético de leitura que me fez ter dificuldade de largar o kindle.
Os personagens se mostraram mais maduros e foi incrível finalmente ver Lara mostrando suas habilidades. Os personagens secundários continuaram só compondo as cenas, ainda sem muita profundidade. Aliás, embora Lara e Aren tenham um desenvolvimento melhor, ainda tenho a sensação de que faltou alguma coisa para que eu me conectasse mais com eles. Mas, mesmo assim, Lara acaba sendo a mais cativante. Queria que as irmãs tivessem sido mais exploradas também, já que tinham um potencial incrível.
Num geral, eu recomendaria a série, mas não ficou entre as minhas favoritas.
