The spiritual waves brought of young lovers Lemn and Cora, of makeshift siblings Avi and Drake unfurl anew like a crisp banner on a fresh land, a land they envisioned would be our America. Or did evil, did bitterness taint their dreams?

Follow her on the enigmatic path she creates through our shared history. Upon finish, you'll take a look back reflecting on the layered depth of Mercy Sky and find that your soul is suddenly clearer as you face your own horizon.
