What if you fell in love with the one person you'd sworn to destroy?
Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will
bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be
a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both
legendary evil - and legendary promise. The only route through a
storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel
between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his
enemies, including Lara's homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under
the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do
whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge
Kingdom.
But as she infiltrates her new home - a lush paradise surrounded by
tempest seas - and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to
question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom
fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his
people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight
to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her
and Aren impossible to ignore. Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will
have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the
savior of her people?
