The Traitor Queen

Bridge Kingdom, Book 2

By: Danielle L. Jensen

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang, James Patrick Cronin

Lara has only one thought when her husband is taken prisoner: I will do whatever it takes to set you free.

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. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter.

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 as Lara and her companions formulate a plan to free Aren from her father’s palace, they soon discover that while it is easy to get in, it will be quite another thing to get Aren, and themselves, back out. 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 for herself.

OMG!!!! Where do I start!!?!?😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been waiting for book 2 to come out! I’m so happy it did and everyday spent waiting for it was worth it!!!!!

Characters: Lara is one Amazing Lioness Empress fighting with the biggest Will Power I have ever read! ❤️ ❤️❤️😭🥰It is amazing to me how Danielle brought character development and consistency with Lara. She made it so relatable to how Lara battles her guilt, love and sense of survival throughout this book. I cried, held my breath, screamed in cheers and felt with each of Lara’s hardships and wins and losses. Lara just made me admire her every chapter with her strength and endurance..(suddenly I started making speeches to myself about how she is a hero in the middle of listening as if letting the characters in the book know lols). The women in this series are just Incredible Warriors and it is refreshing to see how they can fight with both their bodies and their minds in fighting and strategizing as good as the men and better than the men as well.
Aren❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love Aren! Danielle really did an amazing job in not wasting time with unnecessary holding of grudges nor emotional outbursts when showing Aren’s struggles in his relationship with Lara. Aren struggles in his strong desire to hate the woman who betrayed him and facing his love for her; to put his kingdom first or his wife his Queen.
Both of them were a matchmade in heaven. Their strengths show you how two people can be so different yet be the yin and yang to each other.

Danielle did an excellent job in describing the physical struggles they went through such as in seas and dessert. By creating what it can happen in the desert or sea it made it so realistic that I was captivated and off my chair most of the time...(had to take breaks, so many intense moments). The disciption of the fighting and their skills was just breath taking! ❤️

And I have to mention the sisters! I fell in love with them and in short amount of time; Danielle wrote about them in a way that built such personalities and connection with few of them (giving us glimpses of strong women with stories of their own....hopefully more books to come for them).

There are many controversial characters also such as K crown prince whom hopefully we can learn more about in coming books (PLEASE LET THERE BE MORE🙌🏽)

Narration: I love your voice and how you give life to the characters! The different women’s voices were portrayed each with their own connotations. I loved how the emotions were put into the narration making me feel every bit of their struggles, aches and states. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
James also did an outstanding narrations! Aren’s deep ans yet lilting voice was amazing! And also how you can put the weight of the characters personality to showcase their intentions in their voice was just❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏽

THANK YOU SO MUCH DANIELLE FOR YOur AMAZING STORIES AND CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!

RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!😭❤️😍🥰🙌🏽🎊

Listen Now

I loved this book. Lauren and James do a wonderful job of bringing this story to life! It was so much fun getting to know Lara's sisters and I loved exploring other regions of the world.
If you liked The Bridge Kingdom you'll love this sequel...and if you haven't read The Bridge Kingdom yet go it now and then come listen to this one. You won't regret a minute of it!

Absolutely riveting from start to finish!

After reading the first book, I was absolutely dying to find out what happens next. From the moment I got the notification that the audio version had been released I immediately pounced on it. Wow, what a journey! I was on edge through the whole book, my stomach in knots and my heart aching for Lara. The audiobook narrators were amazing as well. They really brought the story and characters to life. This is definitely one series I’ll be going back to.

I can’t breathe.

What an epic ending.
What an amazing book.
I love this series so much and Danielle did not disappoint with this book!

Can’t stop listening!

I didn’t stop listening. The performance was fantastic! The story is fast paced and every page is filled with excitement and action. I’d like to know more about each character, I think each one has an interesting story of its own. The romance is just as good as the adventure and suspense. I love it! I hope there will be more story outtakes from this.
