The curse around his heart is the only thing keeping the dragon alive.
Liora Senn was the finest rune-carver in Nacre Reach until she refused to finish a ward that would have sacrificed a village. The court called her disgraced, revoked her license, and made sure every workshop in the valley knew her name.Then a sealed summons drags her up to Duskhold, where the fae lord Oriven Dask is dying beneath a violet mark everyone calls a curse. The court wants Liora to break it before the next harvest bell. Oriven wants her nowhere near it.
But Liora can read what other carvers cannot: the mark has a second shadow. It is not controlling Oriven. It is protecting him from an oath buried under the fortress, an oath that would let the court command the ancient dragon Yssemor through his blood.
To save the dragon, Liora and Oriven must find the original treaty, survive a court that profits from a beautiful lie, and build a new rune from the one thing magic cannot counterfeit: a freely given answer.
