Mercy's Crown

Some people are lost. Some people are forgotten. And some people make mercy look like murder. On Christmas Eve, Rowan Mercer enters the catacombs with a job to finish. The tunnels should be familiar. They are not. The walls shift. Footsteps echo where no one walks. The cold blisters. And in the dark, Rowan meets Trevor, an impossible stranger who calls himself a ghost, sent to guide the lost through the memories they would rather bury. But Rowan is not the soul Trevor thinks he has come to save. As past, present, and future bleed together beneath the frozen stone, a horrifying truth begins to surface: Rowan has been seen before. Rowan has been followed. Rowan has been chosen. Dark, intimate, and devastating, Mercy's Crown is a gothic Christmas horror novel about loneliness, identity, memory, and the terrifying difference between being saved and being understood.
