A magic-binding scribe is forced into a political vow-bond with the brutal prince of a rival house. Their magic literally enforces the vow — break it, lose your power. Both want to break it. Neither can. They have to learn to share a soul.

Lyric Thorne, twenty-two, is the youngest credentialed vow-scribe in three centuries and the secret carrier of a craft her mother died to teach her. Cassian Drev, twenty-seven, is the Iron Wolf of House Drev — cold, lethal, and carrying a curse he has never spoken aloud.

When the houses force them into a year-long bond to end a sixty-year war, both expect to suffer in silence. Neither expects the bond to read them in truth. Neither expects to find, in each other, the first person who has ever truly seen them.
