Elara Vance writes magic into being at the cost of her own life.
Elara Vance cannot speak, yet her pen makes words real. She takes her runaway sister’s place as the bride of Regent Kaelen Thorne in a match built on duty. Inside the palace they face a scheming empress dowager and a young emperor who watches them with suspicion. Every magical glyph Elara writes steals from her life, so defeating their enemies may cost her everything she has.
