The Bridge Keys
Nila never anticipated the terrifying monsters roaming unseen in the magical meadow she frequents.
Nor had she anticipated being grilled by the king’s snake of an investigator.
Sacrificed as the family scapegoat, Nila alone is expected to keep her sisters’ secrets after a beast mauls one of them.
Her loyalty is strained as she struggles to do what’s best for her family and her kingdom, all while battling unexpected feelings for the man whose interrogation makes her heart beat to a new rhythm.
Even if she finds a way to break the dark magic pact that silences her, none of the people she loves will come out of this unscathed.
