The Enchanted Charter (Thornhaven #3)

Cael Ashford has a question for Miriam Holloway, one Thornhaven has been waiting on for a long while. But before he can find the right moment, a packet arrives from a river city whose water-charms are failing under pressure, politics, and old mistakes.

Bridgewater wants control. Thornhaven has learned the hard way that magic lasts only when care is shared, named, and freely given.

As Cael, Miriam, Sable, and the others follow the trouble into Bridgewater's Riverworks, they uncover a charter built around one dangerous that safety can be sealed away and managed from the top. To answer it, Thornhaven must prove that open repair, honest limits, and ordinary trust can hold where control cannot.

The Enchanted Charter is a cozy fantasy about promises, village magic, found family, second chances, and the kind of love that stands beside instead of taking over.
