The Sorcerer's Concubine by Lidiya Foxglove
Born of wood, cloth, and a substantial dose of magic, Velsa is a Fanarlem, a beautiful artificial girl. Raised to be a concubine, told that her soul is damaged and fated to serve others, she has seen her friends at the House of Perfumed Ribbons sold off to be the pets of wealthy men. Now her own dreaded day has come.

Grau Thanneau is a sorcerer who expects to own a spectacular piece of spell work--he doesn't realize that everything he has been told about Fanarlem is a lie. Velsa is not a dull-witted doll, but an intelligent and luminous girl who captivates his heart. Grau would throw away everything just to keep Velsa safe, but he can’t control the larger forces swirling around them—nor shirk his duty to serve in the border patrol, where concubine dolls are allowed to keep the men out of trouble with Miralem female spies.

There is a land where Fanarlem aren’t treated like slaves—and it’s in the nations of their enemy. The Miralem people to the north have terrifying powers to read and control minds, to heal or destroy. And they share this power with the most rare and terrifying creatures of all—the dragons.

Some Fanarlem are born with these telepathic powers as well, and Velsa is one of them—her powers locked by a golden band around her neck. All her life,her ability has been suppressed and untrained. War is brewing, and when the enemy attacks, Velsa might be the only one who can stand against the Miralem and the dragons. Grau would never be welcome in the Miralem lands, but when a life with him means she will always be treated as nothing, how can she choose?
