A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction.

And it is bait she fully intends to take.
Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she’s trying to free – the husband she betrayed.
With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who – and what – she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.

Freya’s dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region’s jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden’s fate.
Believing he’s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods.

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.

I wrote this story as a tool to help me with writing Hidden Huntress, and it turned out well enough that I decided it would be fun to share it with fans of Stolen Songbird rather than leaving it to languish on my computer's hard drive.
It takes place four years prior to the events of Stolen Songbird, and it will give a taste of what Cécile's life was like before the trolls.
El reino del puente (El reino del puente, #1)
Danielle L. Jensen
¿Qué pasaría si te enamoraras de la única persona a la que has jurado destruir?
Lara, una princesa guerrera que ha sido duramente entrenada en soledad, ha crecido con dos convicciones indiscutibles: la primera es que el Rey Aren es su enemigo; y la segunda, que será ella quien lo ponga de rodillas.
El Reino del Puente aprovecha su enclave privilegiado para enriquecerse y oprimir a sus rivales, incluyendo la patria de Lara. Así que, cuando es entregada para cerrar un acuerdo matrimonial para conseguir la paz, está preparada para hacer todo lo que haga falta para desgastar desde dentro las defensas del Reino... y derribar las de su rey.
Sin embargo, a medida que se infiltra en su nuevo hogar y va descubriendo los intereses que se mueven en este juego, empieza a preguntarse si realmente ella es la heroína de esta historia, o es la villana.
Pero cuando descubra que sus sentimientos por Aren están transformándose, Lara deberá elegir qué reino va a salvar... y cuál va a destruir.
