Author Description

"And Death will live among them in the guise of a child..." They call her The Bridge. She leads them now. The reality of that, of leading a people and culture she barely understands, would be daunting even without what the myths say about her. As it is, they look at her, and see the end of the world. More unnerving still, they want to follow her there. She's married now. She still doesn't know what that means either, not being married to a Seer, and certainly not to her actual husband, who's never exactly been an easy person to read. A new set of rules around Seer culture and her relationship with the infamous Seer infiltrator, Dehgoies Revik, nearly destroys her marriage before it can really begin. Then the boy appears. A sociopath with all of the energetic markings of Syrimne, a deadly telekinetic who killed thousands during World War I, he doesn't appear to have aged in one hundred years. Worse, he thinks Allie belongs to him. * Psychic suspense. Apocalyptic. The second chapter in an epic, soul-crushing, world-spanning romance that can get dark, dark, dark... but also contains a lot of light. Slow burn. Fated Mates. Enemies to lovers. Forced marriage. Rejected mates. Every book ends on a completed arc. **NOTE: A different version of this novel was previously titled "Shield" (same series name) THE BRIDGE AND SWORD SERIES is a dark, gritty psychic warfare romance, from a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author. Set in an alternate version of Earth where a second race of beings called "Seers" live alongside humans, this is for fans of romantic, character-driven science fiction and fantasy worlds, filled with twists and turns and backstabbing betrayals, with heroes and villains who are often the same people.
