Published

She’s hidden her whole life that she hears voices carried through solid stone. She has no idea the disgraced warden assigned to guard her is about to become the first person she trusts with the truth.
Sanne Marwick has spent eighteen years burying a gift she was once called cursed for as a child: pressed against stone, she hears words carried through solid rock as clearly as if they were spoken at her shoulder, true or false, in a voice that never lies. Sent by the Sundermarch as its emissary to confirm this generation’s Accord Renewal, the treaty that keeps the border dragon Ilvray in honorable wardship at the cliffside court of Talonbluff, Sanne is assigned the court’s most disgraced warden as her bodyguard: Sorven Cravenmoor, stripped of rank five years ago and branded a coward after a border village burned on his watch. What she doesn’t expect is to press her palm to Talonbluff’s cliff rock her first night and hear, threading up from somewhere far below, a grief that has been crying into the dark far longer than five years.

What neither of them knows is that the court’s trusted, capable Warden-Commander has spent two decades secretly harvesting the dragon’s tears for illicit trade, keeping her chains tighter and her sorrow deeper than any treaty ever required, and that the “coward” who let a village burn was a warden who got too close to the ledgers proving it.

As attempts on the emissary’s life escalate and the disgraced warden proves, again and again, that his fall was never the failure of nerve it looked like, Sanne and Sorven find they can no longer keep either of their secrets to themselves, or to each other.

Perfect for readers who love a forced-proximity bodyguard romance where competence is the real seduction, a hidden-power heroine who hears truth through solid stone, and a beloved commander whose decades of trusted service hide a much colder theft.
