Salem survived the breaking of the Stream-but survival has a cost.
As mercy itself begins to walk the streets in borrowed light, Avery Grant finds the power she once wielded turning against everything she loves. Reflections whisper. Old debts rise from ash. And the Stream no longer hungers for control-it wants absolution. Bound by fractured magic and impossible choices, Avery must decide what mercy truly means when love refuses to be erased.
