The Bridge Kingdom (The Bridge Kingdom, #1)

by Danielle L. Jensen

Neither the man nor the kingdom mattered. What every girl cared about was that it would be freedom from this place.

“Ice and fire might ravage the world, but still the cockroach survives,”

This man might be a hunter. But he was mistaken if he believed she was prey.

“We are in a cage, a prison of our own making.

It was easier to stab a demon in the back. A much harder thing to betray a man whose actions and choices were driven by a desire to do right by his people.

Is it still a victory if everyone is dead?

“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.” You are a fool, she thought as darkness took her. And that made two of them.

Every victory or mistake, every tender touch or fit of violence…They would be hers now. She would own them. She would own this moment.

“It’s past time we stopped allowing our enemies to dictate our lives and started living them for those we love. And for ourselves.”
