Every year she leaves a pattern in the ivy without meaning to. She’s never once asked what it’s reaching for. This year, she finally does.
Talith Nairne forages the fringe of Greenward’s ruin the way her grandmother taught her, by what a plant is good for, not what it looks like, and every year, without noticing she does it, she leaves a trail of ivy behind her that keeps growing back in the same strange pattern long after her boots have moved on. Her grandmother died this past winter, the first Greening season Talith faces the ruin alone, and this year the pattern is faster, greener, and closer to the wall than she’s ever let herself really look at it.

Warden Faelan Corbett has spent his whole life sworn to a ruin his family has guarded for two centuries, ever since the dragon Verdanis fell defending it and dropped into a healing sleep that was supposed to end within a generation. It hasn’t. He’s quietly logged, for three years, a pattern of his own: the ivy along the inner wall grows fastest wherever the Fallhaven forager has just walked. What he and Talith uncover, together, is that Verdanis isn’t fading from age at all. She’s being kept from healing, on purpose, by the region’s most beloved and trusted archivist — and the ivy pattern under Talith’s feet is the last unfinished piece of a two-century-old bond neither of them ever chose, and neither of them has to let just happen to them either.

When the evidence closes in, the man responsible doesn’t reach for a hostage. He frames Talith herself, and pushes to ban her from the ruin for life. She and Faelan have one chance to prove it at the Greening, in front of the only crowd the ruin ever sees, where a handful of living green in a forager’s hand might be the one kind of evidence a frightened old tradition will finally believe.

Perfect for readers who love fated-mates with a twist, morally gray fae lords, and a dragon who is a person, not a prize.
