No Mercy for the Faithful

In the aftermath of Zoe's death, the world demands answers it never prepared her to give. Old alliances resurface, twisted by time and blame. Old sins-some hers, many not-are dragged into the light. Consequences do not arrive quietly for Mora; they arrive sharpened, carrying names she once trusted. This is a story told from the edge of loyalty: the choices she stood by, the silence she wore like armor, the devotion that became a sentence rather than a virtue. While others are allowed to grieve, Mora is expected to justify herself-to explain why she stayed, why she believed, why she did not turn away when turning away might have saved her. She is not innocent here. She is not forgiven.She is what remains when faith is stripped of comfort-a woman who kept her vows and paid for them in full. Someone once said the cruelest punishment is not betrayal,but being punished for believing, when belief was all she had.
