In a city carved into rigid rings, power is law and mercy is a crime. Crown of Broken Mercy follows Lucian Voss, a Praetor bound to the very system he serves—mask-wearing elites who enforce order from glass towers while the Meridian and Fringe rot below. When a public execution exposes fractures in his loyalty, Lucian must navigate secret resistance, family expectations, and a city built on cruelty.

Readers who enjoy high-stakes political intrigue and gritty urban worldbuilding will be drawn into its relentless momentum and personal stakes.
