Product Description
by Chance Dillon (Author)
For fans of Elden Ring, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, and Joe Abercrombie comes an epic series where blades crash, kingdoms fall, and fate is never as it seems.
"Pulse-pounding action, bloody trauma, and intricate world-building - Mercy smacks you in the face out of the gate." - Philip Chase, Author of the Edan Trilogy
"A gritty and fast-moving fantasy from a promising new voice." - Kirkus Reviews (✔️'GET IT' Recommended)
Relics of the past scattered. A hero broken. A world on the brink.
A paragon left for dead, Alevist Lightseeker sought peace-but peace had other plans.
Thirty four years past, the blade he buried must rise again. As he hunts the ones who shattered his world, another exile awakens-Erevayn. A man drunk on grief and bound by blood. A minstrel must bring the two together in a war against a rising ill fate.
Viyala, a lost love, unexpectedly returns and sparks a fire in Erevayn-but will it be enough to quell his thirst for vengeance? And will the world unfolding around her offer the chance for the future she has long desired?
Salasmir, Blade of the Reckoning, must answer the call of duty once again.
Hayde and Neera, twins of the Stained, hunt for sacred artifacts for their false king. Steyvin and Ilatu must travel across the Sundered Sea in order to do the same, but for their once wise father-who holds damning secrets of his own.
The Tears awaken-and call to the broken.
Two men, one path, and no Gods left to help them.
Some martyrs stay dead. Others-become legend.
