The Fall of Mercy

This is a tragedy. Aurora Hatal wants to burn it all down. Then she meets Milo— a seemingly brilliant and dangerous anarchist who has the power to do it. He remembers four lives. She remembers one.And in every single one, she dies for him. This time, their journey leads to the Fire Kingdom, where girls are executed for bearing magic. Aurora rewrites the rules, shifting power to the women and watching the regime collapse. In the Stone Kingdom, she and Milo fall into something she tries to call love. But he never wanted her soft. He never wanted her loyal. Not this time. His grief had curdled into something unrecognizable. He tells himself it’s for her evolution, that she must be dangerous and walk alone. To grow, Aurora must reject the monster she once died for. As godlike illusions rise and the world fractures, she must choose: destroy everything—or become something new. Milo still thinks he’s saving her. She thinks she loves him, but finally realizes that she's just trying to survive him.
