Abyss

The ultimate rule: protect your own, even if it means betraying others.

In this cutthroat world of the Mercy Blades, bloodstains are a badge of honor. Every choice I’ve ever made is steeped in violence. And even though Sofia wants my love, I can’t help but think we’re going to end in disaster.

Sofia is my foundation, but she’s also wildfire, burning the world we once knew and forcing us to reevaluate everything we thought we understood about loyalty and trust.

We all love her–me and the men I’ve come to call my brothers–but I’m not sure if we can trust her. Especially when she’s haunted by one of the most prolific serial killers of all time…who she might have more allegiance to than she does to me.

I find myself battling not just the enemy outside, but the crippling doubts within. We're playing a game where the line between friend and foe is thin. The haunting echoes of the past could destroy everything.

I need her. I need to ensure she's safe. And for that, I would willingly descend into the abyss.

The stakes are high, but as the saying goes, the higher the stakes, the sweeter the victory.

One way or another, she will be ours.

Forever.
