When I Speak, Fate Obeys

The beggar she married at her ruined wedding is the most dangerous man in the city. Mute mage Nico Vale was sent to find his fated bride and finds Claire Bennett humiliated at the altar, replaced by her best friend. She grabs the silent stranger and marries him on the spot. The city laughs — until its most feared lender kneels. Nico never speaks, yet every word he writes comes true. Now the seal on his voice is breaking, and mage dynasties want it. One sentence can save her. One can destroy her.
