“I will be the next queen of Ithicana. And I will bring the Bridge Kingdom to its knees.”
“I wanted to see the bit of architecture that was worth the rights to my body. My loyalty. My life.” He recoiled as though she’d slapped him. “The rights to those things are yours to give, not your father’s.”
“Who did that to you?”
The woman he’d goddamned fallen in love with was a spy.
“She’s beautiful. And kind.” “Yes.” His gaze was intense. “But she’s not you.”
“Since the moment I set eyes on you in Southwatch, there’s been no one but you. Even if I’m a goddamned fool for it, there will never be anyone but you.”
She did not want to leave him. She wanted to stay, to fight and sweat and bleed for him and his harsh, wild, and beautiful kingdom.
Ithicana—and its king—bent to nothing and no one. But he bent for her.
She would fight for him. She would bleed for him. She would die for him.
