Raised as a warrior, Princess Lara knows two things:
King Aren of the Bridge Kingdom is her enemy.
And she must be the one to bring him to his knees.
The Bridge Kingdom is the only route through a storm-ravaged world, and it uses its power to deprive Lara's homeland of vital resources. So when she's sent to be King Aren's bride, Lara will do whatever it takes to bring down the kingdom's defences, even if it means seducing her new husband.
Yet as she learns more about the war to possess the bridge, Lara's feelings for Aren transform from hostility to passion.
And she faces a terrible dilemma:

—— Good HousekeepingImpressively precise in its scientific conjectures, Bewilderment is no less rich or wise in its emotionality.... channels both the cosmic sublime and that of the vast American outdoors, resting confidently in a lineage with Thoreau and Whitman, Dillard and Kerouac... Sorrowing awe is Bewilderment's primary tone, and its many remarkable scenes are controlled with high novelistic intelligence.
