![“The Mercy of Tenderness is a glorious, messy, heart-pounding cocktail of epic fantasy, murder mystery, and the hottest WLW tension since Shades of Rose. Isiýrube is a multi-layered character trying to serve Church, State, and Sapphic Yearnings simultaneously. The siege ramps up, the body count rises, the emotional stakes go feral, and [this reviewer] stress-ate an entire family-size box of cookies during the finale. I have no regrets.”
The cover of the book is gritty leather, various butterflies in wild colours spin and sup. The novel's title is the burnished gold of a burning city.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cuzfj5gesu5vqoguehaxm72d/bafkreif6lrhmeqeaa2qn5z7r2ip2pvfsnddepq3piputzy4ogei3xsw7jm)
