the Debt at Edge of Duskavaine

Three years ago, Ondrina Thistlewood inherited a shop she didn't understand, in a town that wasn't supposed to exist, and found herself bound to a Fae lord by a bargain neither of them chose. She's since chosen him anyway - through a border crisis, a forged treaty, and every ordinary, extraordinary day in between.Now there's a wedding to plan. And an older debt, waking beneath the floorboards.The founding stone was never just the site of Ondrina and Dravok's Accord - it's a binding mechanism for a bargain struck centuries before either of their families existed, with something the old records only call the First Keepers. The debt was never paid. Only forgotten, generation after generation, by people too afraid to look closely enough to understand what they actually owed.With the town's entire hidden existence at stake, and a desperate, dangerous Sevrain circling for one last chance at power, Ondrina and Dravok have weeks - not years - to understand a debt three generations chose not to see. The answer, when it comes, isn't a clever trick or a forced negotiation. It's something far simpler, and far harder: choosing, deliberately and honestly, to actually tend what they've been given.Their wedding happens in the middle of it all - not despite the crisis, but because of it. Because some things are worth choosing in the open, with the whole town watching, whatever else is still unresolved.The Debt at the Edge of Duskavaine is the finale of The Duskavaine Bargain trilogy - a story about bargains, and treaties, and the ordinary, deliberate care that turns a debt into something worth keeping.
