Return to the world of The Bridge Kingdom in this sensuous fantasy full of romance and intrigue that is perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Silver Flames.

A soldier raised as heir to an empire, Zarrah is motivated by two truths. The first is that the Veliant family murdered her mother. And the second is that her pursuit of vengeance will put every last one of them in their graves.

The Endless War between Maridrina and Valcotta has raged for generations, leaving thousands of Zarrah’s people dead and countless more orphaned. So when she’s given command of the contested city of Nerastis, Zarrah is prepared to do whatever it takes to destroy the Maridrinian forces who oppose her. And to kill the Veliant prince who leads them.

Yet a chance encounter with an anonymous, and handsome, Maridrinian causes Zarrah to question whether the violence she’s perpetrated is justice or a crime. And as she continues to meet the nameless man each night, she finds common ground—and fiery passion–in his arms.

But when identities are revealed, Zarrah must decide whether to embrace a chance at peace… or march to the drums of war.

From bestselling author Danielle L. Jensen comes a thrilling new novel in the Dark Shores world, a series that Sarah J. Maas called "everything I look for in a fantasy novel."

THEIR BATTLES ENDED IN VICTORY

Lydia returns to Mudaire to enter training at the healing temple. But instead of fighting to save lives, she’s convinced she is doing more harm than good. She delves into the history of the gods only to discover a truth that will change her life forever.

His birthright as commander of the Royal Army is finally in his grasp, but Killian feels anything but victorious. Burdened by his past, he embraces the darker side of his mark—and in doing so, risks starting a war.

BUT THE WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

Having defeated the tyrant Urcon, Marcus struggles to form a lasting alliance with the Arinoquians. But he is plagued by the knowledge that there is a traitor among his friends, and it could cost him everything that he’s fought for.

Torn between her growing allegiance to the Thirty-Seventh legion and her need to liberate her people, Teriana finds herself mired in a web of secrets. She embarks upon a path that will either save everyone she loves—or put them all in their graves.

Voor de lezers van Sarah J. Maas en Holly Black

Prinses Lara heeft maar één gedachte voor haar kersverse echtgenoot op hun trouwdag: ik zal jouw koninkrijk op de knieën krijgen. Als enige route door een door stormen geteisterde wereld controleert het Koninkrijk der Bruggen alle handel en reizen tussen landen, waardoor de heerser zichzelf kan verrijken en zijn vijanden kan beroven, inclusief Lara’s thuisland. Lara is van kinds af aan opgeleid tot spion, dus wanneer ze als bruid naar de koning wordt gestuurd onder het mom van vrede, is ze bereid alles te doen wat nodig is om de verdediging van het ijzersterke Koninkrijk der Bruggen te doorbreken.

Maar als ze haar nieuwe thuis – een weelderig paradijs omringd door stormachtige zeeën – en haar nieuwe echtgenoot, Aren, leert kennen, begint Lara zich af te vragen waar het ware kwaad zit. Wat ze ziet is een koninkrijk dat vecht om te overleven, en een koning die zijn volk fel beschermt. Terwijl haar missie laat inzien wat het betekent om de brug te beheren, kan Lara de sudderende aantrekkingskracht tussen haar en Aren onmogelijk negeren. Met haar doel bijna binnen handbereik zal Lara haar eigen lot moeten bepalen: wordt ze de vernietiger van een koning of de verrader van haar volk?
