Hands of Mercy — Charissa Stastny

Bereft of hope, Austan Sandoval immerses himself in the world of espionage to unite with one of the most evil men in the drug industry and his stunning daughter in order to secure safety for the woman he has already lost. Oblivious to the danger their guardian holds at bay, Suvi and James struggle against the mundane until malevolent forces beyond their control cause hell to erupt. Suvi, James, and Austan struggle to survive as separation, death, guilt, and revenge rip them apart and scatter their broken hearts and bodies over the battlefield of life. In the conclusion to the Bending Willow Trilogy, the infinite powers of darkness and light are explored and come full circle in the lives of these characters as they discover that when all seems lost, the only hope comes from unseen Hands of Mercy.
