The Mark Beneath the Skin

By Jojo Welsh

"The crown answers only where claim and choice survive together."

Sold under debt law to the wolves of Greymark, Nera Vale was meant to be a quiet ledger entry - a body, a name, a closed account. Instead, an old covenant wakes beneath her skin in lines of silver, and Kael Arden, the keep's hard-edged heir, finds his ownpalm answering hers in fire.

Beyond the walls, an elder is rewriting law into a leash. Within them, a bond no one consented to grows louder every night. To survive Greymark, Nera will have to learn what the keep buried, what her mother fled, and what kind of woman she becomes when the whole north wants to use her name as a key.
Some bonds wake. Some break. Some choose.

Adult romantasy. Moderate sensual content.
