In a world where bridges are more than crossings - they're power - two kingdoms stand divided by water and united by hatred. The Great Bridge of Ithicana controls all trade between north and south, making its rulers wealthy and feared. For fifteen years, Princess Lara has trained for one mission: to infiltrate Ithicana, seduce its king, and destroy its defenses from within. Her body bears the scars of her training - burns, drownings, and tortures designed to break her will and sharpen her into a weapon. She believes her mission is righteous - Ithicana's trade policies are starving her people. What better cause than the hungry children of Maridrina with their hollow eyes and protruding ribs? But missions rarely unfold as planned. When Lara arrives at the fortress kingdom rising from treacherous waters, she finds King Aren is nothing like the monster she expected. He's calculating yet compassionate, ruthless toward enemies yet protective of his people. As Lara navigates the labyrinthine politics of her new home, she discovers uncomfortable truths that challenge everything she's been taught to believe. Could her father's stories of Ithicanian cruelty be lies? And if so, what does that make her - hero or villain?
