He burned her village. Then the night bound them.

Sable Veyre has stolen from princes, priests, and the dead. She has never stolen from a god.

On Veilfall she cracks an Umbral reliquary and takes a shard of the Thorn Crown, meaning to sell it and buy a life that does not belong to anyone. The shard burns. A mate bond slams into her bones like a second heartbeat that is not hers. Somewhere in the dark, a prince turns his head and finds her.

Prince Riven of the Umbral Court has spent centuries feeding a dying court with blood, bargains, and worse. He did not ask for a mate. He asked for a weapon that would look mortal enough to fool a hungry god. What he gets is a grave-thief with a branded shoulder, a vicious mouth, and a power she does not know she owns.

The High Circle will unmake her for the theft unless she signs. She signed a year as his bound consort to keep her name. She did not know the prince who put a knife in her hand was the same dark that stood up in the willows when she was ten.

Adjoining rooms. A rite older than manners. A court that smiles with knives. Sable intends to survive him. Riven intends to keep her. Neither of them intended to want it.

When his brother feeds their people to the Thorn God, and the truth of a burned village comes due, the bargain will not be enough. She will have to choose the bond. He will have to offer her his throat. And the god in the crown will learn what it costs to hold a woman who was never meant to be owned.
