To shoulder another’s misfortune and share one’s own happiness— The daughters of the Edelstein family are born with this rare and coveted ability. For generations, the family has expanded its influence by marrying off their daughters to powerful nobles in emotionless political unions, valued solely for their power. Kuschel, born without this gift, is labeled a “stone” and treated with contempt. When she’s married off to the upstart noble house of Baron Erz, she assumes her husband will discard—or even kill—her upon learning she’s powerless. But Jeremiah, her new husband, never once mentions her lack of power. Instead, he welcomes her with genuine warmth… A tale of quiet redemption, healing love, and the unraveling of a life once thought unworthy begins.
