Mercy's Fall

In a world where magic demands a price and mercy can be more dangerous than cruelty, Verak Blackmere has built a reputation as a healer willing to go where others will not. When he saves the dying heir of House Vaelmont from a mysterious affliction, he draws the attention of forces that have been watching from the shadows. Strange dreams spread. Unnatural frost follows in his wake. Whispers of ancient powers begin to surface, and the line between miracle and heresy grows dangerously thin.
