She stood in for her sister at the altar to save her family's land. The Warden recognized her voice before she finished her first vow, and said nothing at all.
Faelynn Braewood has spent her whole life managing everything her wilder twin couldn't. When Blythe flees the night before her own Binding rather than marry a stranger, Faelynn takes her place at the Threshold Arch to keep the Ridge-Marshal from stripping their family's land on the spot, certain she only has to hold still and say the right words once.Warden Silvanus Corvingale was supposed to marry a stranger. Instead he hears a voice he's spent three months failing to forget, the sharp, funny tally clerk who caught a dishonest trader at the Millbrook scales and never gave him her name. He knows exactly who's standing in that Arch. He says nothing, and spends the next year choosing, every single day, not to be the reason she disappears from his life a second time.
What neither of them knows is that Ridge-Marshal Roderick Hastwick has spent twenty-five years making sure arranged Bindings on this ridge never deepen into true ones, because a failed bond reverts a family's land straight into his own office's trust, one holding at a time, one generation at a time.
Perfect for readers who love a twin-swap romance where the hero already knows and stays silent anyway, a hidden-power heroine whose own breath catches a lie, an institutional-fraud villain undone by hard evidence instead of magic, and a dragon who finally gets to stop bracing for another disappointment.
