She needs a bond mate.
He’s sworn to celibacy.
They absolutely should not fall in love…

Katya needs a suitor. Any suitor. And this tourney will gather all the eligible lords in one place for the first time since the war. If she doesn’t find someone soon she’ll lose her family’s lands…

Brother Padril has his orders, and carrying them out is the only way to restore the war-ravaged province. His feelings for Katya are immaterial: the Grist never relinquish their bound brothers.

But Brother Padril needs information only Katya can provide to carry out those orders, and none of the eligible lords will speak to Katya regardless. How could spending the tourney together possibly make their plights worse?

If Katya can’t attract a suitor, her lands will be forfeit, and besides, any dalliances will see Padril ousted from the only family he’s ever known…

A Tourney Bond is a very loose State Fair retelling as a historical fantasy romance novella, set in the Syphon Bound world.
