No living hand may touch the stones. No dragon of Sablecairn may bond again. She just became the first tender in a century the dragon reached for anyway.
Vesna Sollow buries her mother in the dead of winter and takes up the post six generations of Sollow women have held before her: tender of the Cairnfield, the black-stone field where a cairn stands for every bondmate the court’s dragon has loved and lost. The Stillbinding is Sablecairn’s oldest law, taught to every child as a mercy — no one touches the stones, and the dragon never bonds again. In her first week walking the field at dusk, Vesna becomes the first living person in a hundred years that Nyssara approaches, unbidden, direct, unmistakable. Which is exactly what the law forbids.

Corin Vaneswood, Warden of the Stillbinding, watches it happen and doesn’t report it — the same way he’s spent a year not finishing a thought about the Cairnhouse’s own records, which have never quite matched the story he was raised to believe. What he and Vesna uncover, together, cairn by cairn, is that no bondmate in six generations ever died of any grief-toll. Every one of them was quietly killed before the bond could finish — because completing it would cost the ruling Regent his throne.

When Regent Dorn Ashmore, beloved and decades-trusted, senses the truth closing in, he doesn’t reach for a hostage. He reaches for the law itself — stages a broken cairn, plants the evidence on Vesna’s own hands, and charges her with breaking the Stillbinding. The punishment isn’t death. It’s permanent exile, and never seeing Nyssara again. She and Corin have exactly one chance to prove otherwise, at the one rite of the year when the whole court gathers to hear it.

Perfect for readers who love forbidden romance, morally-grey fae lords, and a dragon who is a person, not a prize.
