Beltharos may have won the battle against the Cirisians, but the true war is yet to come. For the first time since breaking the Guild’s sacred oath, Mercy is under the control of the woman who has manipulated and tormented her all her life—and Illynor has no shortage of punishments awaiting Mercy for her crimes. All will be forgiven if she repents and dedicates herself to the Guild, but doing so means losing the family and life she left behind. Chained and half-starved, she vows to never give Illynor the satisfaction of seeing her break, but her resolve weakens every day she must endure the Guildmother’s torture. She can only hope Tamriel finds a way to free her before it gives out entirely.
