The Confluence’s Daughter (The Bindings of Elorion, #1)

Seraphine Lacour just wants to grieve her mother in peace.

Velanthis has other ideas.
Something ancient has been pressing into her emotions since her mother died. The covenant holding the six courts together is failing. And her uncle Oris is circling the empty Confluence seat like he has already won.

She did not ask for any of it. She is going to have to fix it anyway. Her court and her magic depend on it.

Then there are the men. A much more enjoyable complication.

The letters. A year of them, sealed in green wax from a man who knows exactly what he wants and is waiting for her to realize the same.

I'd like to see you. Properly. Not across a council table. Not in passing. Just you. And if that's too forward, blame the hour. It's still dark here, and the sea is loud this morning. It makes honesty easier.

The debt-arbiter who cannot lie and looks at her like she is the only puzzle worth solving.

Friends who make sure she does not face any of it alone.

Welcome to Velanthis, where she never has to choose.
