His Iron Saint

She was sold to witness a throne. Instead, the dead saint chose her to expose it.

Mara Vale has no grace, no court, and no protection worth naming. In the Iron Court, that makes her useful. A woman without magic cannot bend a holy oath, corrupt a succession rite, or threaten the men who built their power on chains.

Commander-heir Cassian Veyr buys her silence for one ceremony.

He expects a quiet witness. He gets a woman who notices every locked door, every false prayer, every lie hidden inside the court's sacred law. When the Iron Saint's relic speaks only to Mara, the succession shatters, and Cassian is forced to protect the one person who can destroy everything he was raised to inherit.

But protection in the Iron Court has teeth.

Bound to Cassian's command, hunted by his enemies, and haunted by a saint who should be dead, Mara must uncover what happened to the women who came before her. Every answer leads back to a chain, a vanished witness, and a law written in stolen voices.

Cassian can save her life.

Mara will not let him own it.

His Iron Saint is the first book in The Iron Saint Courts, a dark romantasy romance of court power, forbidden vows, sacred corruption, and a heroine the dead refuse to abandon.
