The Ironreach Mercy

THE IRONREACH MERCY Alric Rowan was a storm. As the Emperor of the Ironreach, he unified the continent through fire, burning the very woman he once swore to protect. Now, years later, he is a ghost in a wool cloak, a nameless laborer seeking redemption in the ruins of the kingdom he destroyed. But the past has a long reach. When his old sins return to haunt the peaceful village he now calls home, Alric must decide: Will he die a monster, or become the shield he never was? A gritty tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the high cost of a second chance.
