A ruthless prodigy princess and the cinnamon roll pilot girl who teaches her how to love.
Suria has escaped the attack on her home, but not the dangers within.
When she and Maki arrive at the mining colony of Antillia, she’s unprepared for what she finds: poverty, corruption, and a people betrayed by the queendom she was raised to protect. With the comfort of the capital gone, Suria must face the truth of what her mother’s rule has cost, and what her own power might become.
Yet the greatest revelation blooms inside her. As every new truth pulls apart the life she thought she knew, Suria begins to question not only her family, but herself. And when she and Maki face deadly pursuit once more, she must decide whether to accept the person she is becoming, or lose everything she loves.
Mercy of the Hunted continues the epic sapphic space opera romance of Fangs of the Serpent, exploring who we are when our masks are stripped away. Can Suria embrace her power and the love of the crew who stand beside her, or will she keep chasing a legacy she never chose?
