Stinging disloyalty from the two people he loves most leads to overwhelming loss, and an existence devoid of purpose. He takes a note out of Ana’s playbook and flees the pain, ending up at his family’s holiday home in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of solitude he finds Mercy, a breathtaking woman with many layers of secrets and a stubborn refusal to answer any of his reasonable questions. Mercy needs Nicolas, but he can never know the that she is not a woman at all, but a being thousands of years old, at the end of a journey she needs his unwitting help to complete.
