Mercy
I devoted my entire life to the Church of the Well and its leader.
But then death came to our community.
And then he came. Ambrose Echeverría.
He says he’s an itinerant preacher. He lays hands on our congregation and fills them with God’s light. He fills me with God’s light.
And for the first time, I can feel my devotion slipping—
Even if I can sense the darkness slipping in through the cracks.
Ambrose
It was supposed to be easy. I just needed to infiltrate a cult for a few days, get access to information that would help a friend, and maybe spread some mayhem if I had the chance.
But I didn’t account for Mercy Gunner, the first human woman to catch my eye in two hundred years.
I’m a killer. I don’t save people.
So why do I want to save her?
