Overview
She gave her own name to save her brother. The gate wasn't supposed to give anything back.
In Brinehollow, a living thorn gate holds back a fog that steals the names of streets and people. Every seventh spring, the city draws one name for a seven-year tithe. This year, the bowl calls Elowen Voss's younger brother.
So she offers her own name instead and walks to the gate at moonrise.
Cael Drystan has kept that gate for seven years. His term is over, but the ledger won't let the last stroke of his name dry. Someone has been writing in the margins with ink that is almost true. If that claim takes hold, the gate goes to the highest bidder, and the city forgets itself.
Elowen can hear when a vow is fraying. Cael answers the fog with stubborn facts. Neither of them meant to fall in love over bad tea and a book that knows a gift from a toll.
Before the new moon, they must decide whether what they feel is a tool, or a name they mean to give.
A standalone romantic fantasy novella of vows, sacrifice and slow-burning love. Perfect for one cozy evening.
