Published

Every third generation, her town weds a bride to the fae lord to keep the dragon asleep. No one ever asks what the dragon wants.
Elara Ansell has kept Gloamsedge’s boundary lanterns since she was a girl—forty-one lights, lit at the exact turn of the dusk, never a dark road, not once. She knows oil and wick and glass better than she knows how to be afraid. So when the gift wakes in her and the town names her the next duskwarden, she does the practical thing. She goes. She marries the fae Lord of the Gloaming Court. She speaks the vow meant to keep the great dusk-dragon bound and the Long Dark shut out for another generation.

Then, alone in the vault at the turn of the light, she hears the dragon speak—and everything the vow was supposed to protect turns out to be a lie three hundred years old.

Theron Everdusk has presided over two duskwardens before her. He watched both of them slowly sleep themselves into an early grave, and he called it the price of peace. He walked the vault stair every evening as if his grief were the same as objecting. He is about to learn from a border girl what two centuries never taught him: that there is nothing behind the gate, that there never was, and that the vow his House was built on has only ever kept a living creature asleep so the dragon-light could keep the whole March rich.

The Long Dark is not coming. It has not been coming for three hundred years. The only thing the vow holds down is a dragon who wants to wake—and the only thing that can free her is the one thing no Lord has ever done: a vow that gives instead of takes.

To break it, Elara has to refuse the marriage the whole March believes protects them, and hold up the beloved great-aunt who raised her as exactly what she is. And Theron must burn down his own House before the whole March—and mean it.

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