The Obsidian Truce

When a marriage is brokered to pause a blood-feud between two warring factions, neither side puts down their blades. For the bride, a scavenger who can feel the history of broken things simply by touching them, the arrangement is a cage. For the groom, it is a calculation. Thrust into a household where every meal might be poisoned and every smile hides a dagger, she discovers a terrifying truth hidden in the estate’s rusted relics: a wrongful execution that secured the current balance of power. With only her strange intuition and her hard-won survival instincts, she must untangle a conspiracy that implicates both their families before the truce shatters. But the most dangerous thing in this marriage might just be the growing, undeniable gravity between a captor playing by rules she doesn’t understand, and a bride who refuses to be collateral.
