Yara has spent years preparing to escape the life chosen for her. When she finally runs, she finds something stranger than freedom: the Mercy Road, an ancient path said to appear only to those fleeing for their lives.
At first, the road seems like salvation. It leads away from pursuit, away from the people and places that would claim her, and toward a city no map can find. But Yara is not alone. Along the way she gathers fellow travelers - each running from a different past, each shadowed by a mysterious presence that seems to embody the truth they cannot outrun.
A disgraced merchant haunted by the cost of cowardice.
A former soldier pursued by the weight of a terrible command.
A young man wrestling with shattered faith.
A grieving woman who has walked the road before.
A child whose deepest wound is the fear of being left behind.
As the Mercy Road narrows, deepens, and draws them toward its end, it becomes clear that this is not just a road of escape. It is a road of reckoning. To survive it, each traveler must face what has been following them all along.
Lyrical, haunting, and emotionally exact, The Mercy Road is a mythic fantasy about fear, grief, chosen family, and the terrifying mercy of being truly seen.
