Border of Bones (Kingdom économies of Chains) by Tanya Bird NEUF

No enemy can defeat a determined heart.

Lina is no stranger to conflict. When her clan arrives on the shores of Cardiganshire for the summer, she is prepared for trouble. Sea warriors are tolerated in the Irish Sea but never on land. Luckily, the Wolfvanir are not hunting for friends but for food. They will not survive the winter without it. But the territory is already occupied by the Carmarthen Militia, an army with a history as dark as their own. A violent welcome brings Lina face to face with the general himself, a man who wants her gone-but not dead. In fact, he seems intent on keeping her alive. The question is why? And the mystery has her staring down her arrow at him... unable to let it fly.

Tolly Blackmane is secure in his cycle of survival. It was a miracle he made it to Wales alive, and it has been his privilege to protect the people who survived alongside him. But now that security is under threat in more ways than one. The Wolfvanir clan has arrived on their shores, and so has the person he owes his life to. Lina is his savior. She is also his enemy. Fate has brought them back together, but to what end? Rules will be ignored and loyalties tested as they navigate love across enemy lines.

Border of Bones is a thrilling romance packed with drama and witty dialogue. If you enjoy strong female characters, heart-pounding action, and a love that defies all odds, then do not miss the epic conclusion to the Kingdom of Chains trilogy.
