"It is essential to read the upcoming Bridge Kingdom book. To get this book, don't go outside. Run." - Jennifer L. Armentrout, author of the number one New York Times bestseller From Blood and Ash Zarrah, a soldier who was reared as the heir of an empire, is driven by two realities. The first is that her mother was murdered by the Veliant family. The second is that she will send each and every one of them to their deaths in her quest for retribution. Thousands of Zarrah's people have died and countless more have become orphans as a result of the Endless War between Maridrina and Valcotta over many generations. Therefore, when Zarrah is awarded charge of the contentious city of Nerastis, she is ready to use all necessary measures to eliminate the Maridrinian armies that stand in her way. But Zarrah starts to wonder whether the violence she's committed is actually justice or simply a crime after having a chance encounter with an unnamed, attractive Maridrinian. And as she keeps meeting the anonymous man every night, she discovers a point of connection?and a raging passion?in his embrace. Zarrah must choose whether to seize a chance for peace or march to the drumbeat of war when identities are revealed, though. Fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Silver Flames will love this sensual fantasy that transports them back to the world of The Bridge Kingdom and is filled with romance and intrigue.
