The Tempest Blade

Why these tropes fit

In the final installment of the Bridge Kingdom saga, fugitive Ahnna races through the wilderness toward Ithicana with a critical warning, only to find her former lover James hunting her for vengeance over his father's death. As James pursues her, old passion reignites and his certainty of her guilt erodes, revealing that both have been manipulated by hidden power brokers. With loyalties split between opposing sides of an imminent war, the two must choose between duty and each other.
