The village paid its debt with a bride every generation. She was the first one trained enough to prove the debt was already gone.
Yara Vire is the last trained oath-smith of her line, the only one who still knows how to recognize a true vow struck into iron. When her frightened cousin is chosen by lottery to become this generation’s bride, Yara takes her place at Kilnraven Hold.

She tells herself she is protecting her family. But Yara has another reason for going: her father died believing that something about the ceremonial oath-iron was wrong, and she intends to discover what he found.

At the Hold, she meets Bastian Kilnraven, a fae lord trapped by the same ancient vow that governs the village. He is free to speak and ask questions, yet forbidden from forging or testing oath-iron with his own hands.

Beneath the Hold, a dragon has waited for ninety years for someone with Yara’s knowledge to arrive and ask the question nobody else thought to ask.

The bargain tradition was never created to renew a fragile bond. The bond was never fragile at all. For generations, one family has profited from keeping the village afraid enough to continue paying its debt.

Now Yara has to uncover the truth before another generation is bound to the same lie. And the more she learns, the more difficult it becomes to separate the oath she came to break from the bond growing between her and the man who has been trapped by it too.

Emberbride is a standalone fantasy romance featuring a bargain marriage, a determined heroine, a duty-bound fae lord, ancient oath magic, dragon lore, hidden secrets, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
