The Unfinished Souls

To Speak of Old Things Özet

Marriage was supposed to be the hard part. Isriel and Kael survived that—survived a curse, a splinter, a wedding neither of them chose. What they didn't expect was a kingdom that keeps needing them to survive it all over again.

When a widow's letter leads them to a debt older than her family's memory, Isriel and Kael find themselves chasing a pattern of vanishings that all point to the same terrifying possibility: Mother Vahl, exiled and presumed harmless, never stopped listening for the moment someone would finally ask her the right question.

Racing against a debt that's coming due and a woman who collects unfinished souls, Isriel and Kael will have to trust each other—and the family they've built from soldiers, thieves, and children nobody else came looking for—to answer a question three centuries in the making, before it's answered for them.
