Publisher's Summary

Lara has only one thought when her husband is taken prisoner: I will do whatever it takes to set you free.

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 as Lara and her companions formulate a plan to free Aren from her father’s palace, they soon discover that while it is easy to get in, it will be quite another thing to get Aren, and themselves, back out. 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 for herself.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!

This book took me on a wild trip from the get go. Lara and Aren have easily become two of my favourite leads. Although this book was full of action, the emotional journey these characters went on was intense.

Maybe not the best idea to listen to this under my hijab at work since I was just bursting into tears randomly...

DOWNLOAD IMMEDIATELY

This entire saga has been one of my favourite unsuspecting surprises!

Well written with some fantastic twists and turns. The plot thickens and flows incredibly, the character development is not enough and way too much all at once. You think to yourself, "come on get on with it" but then later you understand. I am so looking forward to the rest!

The narrators are on point and well spoken. Dramatics in all the right places. Inflections and emphasis all timed perfectly.

Romance, Action and Politics.

Interesting duology, I found the plot was not predictable and they held true to the characters values and experiences.

This is how you write a fantasy!

I am currently bawling my eyes out because I love this series so much. Amazing story, this is how you do it, this is how you get a reader invested and hanging onto every single sentence. The character development, the stark contrast between each beautifully described setting, the way that there isn't a single part of me wishing for a change, it couldn't have progressed any better.
This book has me kicking my feet, yelling, crying, laughing, rolling my eyes. I'm going to have to buy physical copies just to cherish them.

Worth a Listen

Loved the alternating POVs between Lara and Aren. The story did feel a bit predictable in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it. Couldn’t stop listening, had to find out how it ended. Narrator did a fantastic job.

Political- angst - forbidden love

Loved this book - only thing i didn’t like was the en cause i wanted the story to go on! Want more of lara and aren! They are flawed and their relationship is more realistic than your typical soulmate or imprinted storyline. the inadequate heir is good too but i feel like they could’ve been one book with multiple povs like the heroes of olympus series. Hope the next books are going to bring back loved characters

Les tambours: c'est non!

Les tambours en début de chapitre étaient très dérangeants, mais l'histoire etait très bonne. J'ai préféré la début à la fin!

I Want To Be Laura!

Really entertaining with a mixture of romance, adventure, bickering, politics, kick ass females and of course, family feuding.
The narrators were fabulous and lifted story off the page. But… let’s address those endless drums, yah?!

Good stuff

Really enjoyed listening to this story- everything you need- love, betrayal, “kick ass” women fighters- what more could you want.
