Ha Sori has spent her whole life as the voice of her Deaf mother, a sign-language interpreter who always speaks for others and never for herself. When she wakes in the body of Jang Ihwa, a noblewoman declared dead in a Joseon-style kingdom, the only person who can read her hands is Yeom Taesan, a reclusive herbal physician who has sworn never to speak again. To escape an arranged marriage, the two bind themselves in a Pledge of Unfinished Cure, a fragile pretense that forces her to stay sick and him to keep her close. As they build a language of their own, sign by sign, pretense turns into something neither can name. But the silver plum blooms only once, in the snow, and when it does, a door back to her old world will open. The longer Sori stays, the more of that world she forgets. Now she must choose between the life she lost and the voice she helped him find.
