Every gift takes something. Every thief knows the price.
In the city of Ashmark, power isn't earned - it's inherited from the dead.
On your thirteenth birthday, you Claim a Mercy: sight, speed, protection, or craft.
The cost? You forget something of equal weight - a song, a face, a name.
Kael was never supposed to steal one. But when the Bureau's ceremony takes the last thing he loves, he breaks the law that built the city.
Now hunted by the very system that erased his past, Kael joins a group of outlawed Rememberers - thieves who steal Mercies back from the powerful and trade them for what was lost. Among them is Lira, a fighter who's forgotten her own name but not her anger, and Finn, a Hollow fading from existence one heartbeat at a time.
Every heist burns another memory. Every victory costs more than it saves.
To end the Bureau, Kael will have to forget the only thing that still makes him human.
The Mercy Thief is a dark romantasy with dystopian edge - perfect for readers of Fourth Wing, The Atlas Six, and Red Rising.
A world where memory is currency, love is rebellion, and forgetting is the ultimate crime.They can erase you. Or you can steal yourself back.
