ABOUT THE BOOK

Weight of Mercy puts paladins at the center of the story in a way few fantasy novels dare to. Instead of using them as background holy warriors or worse, scapegoats for the anti-hero, this book explores what it truly means to carry both the sword and the sacred vow. These paladins fight evil creatures, yes, but they also battle doubt and hard choices, and the crushing expectation to be merciful in a world where mercy can get you killed. They are warriors with a spiritual mandate — flawed, fervent, and fiercely human — and the novel steps into their inner struggles as much as their battlefield heroics.

The novel also unfolds in a shattered alternate history, where Europe has been reshaped by sudden chasms, demon incursions, and strange distortions of time and fate. Kingdoms that should have risen or fallen have instead collided. Geography twists. Eras bleed together. Yet beneath all this, the familiar echoes of medieval Europe remain, now strained under supernatural disaster. This is a world both recognizable and originally different.

For readers who miss classic heroic fantasy—uncomplicated valor, chivalry, faith, and epic stakes.
