Publisher Description

Audiobooks for the First Volume are currently in production as Simon Vance becomes the voice of the Mercy Saga; produced by Tantor Media. COMING SOON.

Twice Kirkus Recommended, the Mercy Saga is a critically recognized epic fantasy praised for its immersive storytelling.

Fate can be an ill thing. The factions of Maetlynd sunder—and the war of fate begins.

After encountering a demon in the mountains, Alevist faces the cost of the vengeance he has sought. Caught between staring back at the woman he loves and the being possessing her, he has to face whether or not he was meant to mentor his best friend's son.

Erevayn battles with the demons within—his own, and by the making of another unseen force.

Viyala faces the aftermath of Salasmir's ascension. An escape is imminent, but can she and Ilteria leave behind a sure future?

Hayde and Neera are drawn apart—and work their way back to one another while faced with choices of their own.

Steyvin peers into the face of his future with the loss of his guidance—his purpose unbound, he must work to find it.

The dying fight to survive. The Forgotten fight to be remembered. The Dawn Tree calls to the chosen as an ill end approaches.

Ash rains, crimson rises, and the fated must fight back.

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.
