The First Graft: A Blue Ridge Romantasy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185374047)

Book Three of the Bellwether Trilogy. The finale of the folk-magic saga.

On the longest night of the year, one white blossom will open on a bare winter tree, and every debt in Bellwether County comes due at once.

The founding bargain that gives the county its luck was built on a theft, and the man it was stolen from has come to collect. To pay him honestly, without unmaking the web of covenants that now shelters half a state, Nell Hazelwood Mercer must find the lost fifth family of the first fire, carry them home across four states, and gather all five bloodlines at the heart tree before the solstice turns.

She is running out of time. A colder, hungrier operator than any they have faced means to drain the drowned lake at the exact hour of the rite, spilling three states' worth of stolen weather to seize a fraction of it. Nell and Eli will have to win on two fronts at once, twenty-six miles apart, each blind to whether the other still stands.

And the honest price of the founding debt is higher than either of them has let themselves count. Some wounds heal to a seam and never vanish. This is where the Bellwether Trilogy pays what it owes, and learns what love is worth once you finally stop keeping accounts against it.
