After a devastating attack in the wilderness, Lord Bonno and the knights of Mercy Vale discover that survival sometimes brings harder challenges than battle. Old relationships resurface, long-buried truths come to light, and the cost of justice becomes deeply personal.
Far to the South, Lady Kendra stands between two ancient powers - the dwarven kingdoms and the Sun Palace monks - struggling to secure a treaty that could preserve peace for a century... or plant the seeds of future war. With Solaren missing, Sara the sage new in her post, and trust in short supply, every promise carries risk.
Meanwhile, rumors spread across the markets and monasteries: dragons are not the only ancient danger stirring.
When Forseti speaks, choices must be made.
And those choices will shape Mercy Vale forever.
Set in the Low Moon universe, courage is tested, alliances are forged in uncertainty, and mercy proves stronger than steel.
