For the first time, Mercy encounters others of her kind – her father's people, the powerful, ancient river spirits known as the 'marrok.' This discovery comes at a critical juncture, as a dangerous and malevolent force stirs within the depths of the Columbia River, threatening all who dwell nearby. With facts scarce and an unsettling premonition, Mercy realizes that her newly found heritage might hold the key to understanding and combating this emerging evil.

As the stakes escalate, Mercy and Adam will need every resource available to confront the growing darkness, lest they face consequences far more dire than death itself. This adventure propels Mercy into a world where ancient legends and modern threats collide, testing her resilience and loyalty.
