The Traitor Queen

Geographically, the Bridge Kingdom series’ world consists of two continents connected by a long bridge controlled by the kingdom of Ithicana (the Bridge Kingdom). The northern continent consists of Harendell and Amarid, while the southern continent consists of Maridrina, Valcotta, and Teraford. Due to Ithicana’s control of the bridge, the kingdom oversees international trade between continents. Holding the bridge means holding the ultimate power—the bridge kingdom gains wealth as it controls the world’s economy—which is why the surrounding nations go to great lengths to influence and control it. Thus, the Bridge Kingdom series follows the political machinations of the kingdoms as they engage in an endless power struggle, while also following three separate love stories among the key players.

The Bridge Kingdom is a series of six installments divided into three connected duologies. Each duology follows a specific couple. The Bridge Kingdom (2018) and The Traitor Queen (2020) follow a warrior-princess of Maridrina, Lara, and King Aren of Ithicana. The Inadequate Heir (2022) and The Endless War (2023) follow Lara’s brother Keris, prince of Maridrina, and Zarrah Anaphora, niece of the Valcottan Empress. The Twisted Throne (2024) and The Tempest Blade (2026) follow Aren’s sister, Ahnna, and a love triangle between her betrothed—Harendell’s crown prince William—and his half-brother, James.
