The Bridge Kingdom series

Available on Audible plus, I’m sure it’s available elsewhere in paperback or e-book.

The first two books follow a warrior princess (Lara) and her arranged marriage to the Bridge Master (Aren)

The next two books follow Lara’s brother Keris and Niece to the Great Empress, Zarrah.

The final two, follow Aren’s twin Ahnna and the arranged marriage to the prince of Harendell.

—— ✨ ——

These books are FULL of action and SO GOOD. I highly recommend.

Review of “The Psychology of Zelda”

-“The depth provided in each and every chapter here is remarkable” -“The mere fact that Zelda is not the protagonist of the series, despite being it’s name sake, is one indication that sexism pervaded Hyrule’s creation” -“Link: He exists as a connecting bridge, a link between players’ inner world
