Published

Every candle she’s ever lit has told the truth without asking her permission. She just spent her whole life being punished for listening to it.
Solveig has no family name of her own, only the Wickwrights’ Hall that raised her and a lifetime of guttered demonstration candles she’s been blamed for since she was old enough to hold a wick. Flames flare wrong around people the Guild masters warn her to trust. Flames burn strangely clean around people they warn her off of. She calls it clumsiness because that’s what she’s always been told it is.

Warden Rendel Ashcarrow is sent to question her over one more ruined candle, certain, the way he’s certain of everything he was raised to believe, that the Guild he serves is exactly as honest as it looks. He isn’t expecting an apprentice whose flame burns cleaner in front of him than it has any right to. He isn’t expecting to start defending her instead of reporting her. And he is not prepared for what it will cost him to learn that his own father didn’t die a hero nineteen years ago, that the Everlight burning at the heart of Fernwick’s whole export trade was never the dragon’s freely given blessing, and that the woman he can’t stop protecting is the very thing the Guild has spent six generations making sure never grew up to ask questions.

Fernwick’s famous candles never gutter for a reason no customer has ever been told. Solveig is about to become the first Tapersmith in six generations to survive long enough to prove it in front of the whole town, if the Guildmaster who murdered her mother doesn’t silence her first.

Perfect for readers who loved the dragon romantasy of Rebecca Yarros, the fae courts of Sarah J. Maas, and the found-truth intimacy of Ali Hazelwood.
