The Inadequate Heir
By Danielle L. JensenPublisher Description
In the third novel of the iconic Bridge Kingdom series, forbidden romance blooms between two sworn enemies who must choose between their thirst for vengeance and their love for one another—from the New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood.
A soldier raised as heir to an empire, Zarrah is motivated by two truths. The first is that the Veliant family murdered her mother. And the second is that her pursuit of vengeance will put every last one of them in their graves.
The Endless War between Maridrina and Valcotta has raged for generations, leaving thousands of Zarrah’s people dead and countless more orphaned. So when she’s given command of the contested city of Nerastis, Zarrah is prepared to do whatever it takes to destroy the Maridrinian forces who oppose her. And to kill the Veliant prince who leads them.
Yet a chance encounter with an anonymous, and handsome, Maridrinian causes Zarrah to question whether the violence she’s perpetrated is justice or a crime. And as she continues to meet the nameless man each night, she finds common ground—and fiery passion—in his arms.
But when identities are revealed, Zarrah must decide whether to embrace a chance at peace . . . or march to the drums of war.

“I actually like this book and care about these characters, but I’m a little bitter- 1) this book takes place at the same time as book 2, but with different POVs, so you already know what happens with almost all the major plot points & I wish there was some sort of tandem read set up you could do instead. 2) I feel like there is so much more spice in this book than the previous two and I wish there had been this much between the other couple as well! I’m excited to read book 4 where I won’t have any spoilers”Multi-layered charactersEasy to readAddictiveImmersive settingRomanticBigotryViolenceUnsatisfying plot
