His Vow of Bone - Elena Cross

Seraphine Cael is alive. The Bone Court's records say otherwise.

Seven years ago, a false death entry stripped her of her bloodline, inheritance, and legal name. Everything she should have owned passed into the hands of Elian Voss, the beautiful and dangerous Bone Court heir whose family still benefits from the grave they built around her.

Then Mara Vale arrives at the Bone Gate with a death record bearing her own signature.

To save Mara from being buried by law, Seraphine must work with the man who inherited from her erasure. Elian offers a vow of bone: his name bound to hers, his status placed at risk, his secrets opened one ledger at a time.

But Bone Court vows are never symbolic.

Every correction costs blood, memory, inheritance, or years of life. Every restored name threatens a house that survives by turning inconvenient women into ancestors. And the closer Seraphine gets to the truth, the more Elian must choose between the power he was raised to protect and the woman whose legal death made him powerful.

He can restore her name.

She will make him answer for owning it.

His Vow of Bone is the second book in The Iron Saint Courts, a dark romantasy romance of death records, ancestral debt, forbidden vows, and a heroine who refuses to remain buried.
