Saving people has always hurt Iris Calder. She just never realized someone was counting on it.In Vesper City, superheroes do not operate outside the law. They are licensed, monitored, ranked, and controlled by the Civic Defense Bureau.Dr. Iris Calder is one of the most trusted.Known to the public as Mercy, Iris has an extraordinary ability. She can take another person's injuries into her own body, carrying their pain long enough to save their life. When necessary, she can release that stored trauma as devastating force.Every rescue costs her something.Then a catastrophic collapse beneath Vesper Central Station exposes something that was never meant to be found.A hidden network beneath the city.Missing powered people.Secret detention facilities.And a classified government program known as The Mercy Protocol.As Iris investigates, she discovers that some heroes officially declared dead may never have died at all. People considered too dangerous, too unstable, or simply too useful have been disappearing into a system designed to keep millions of citizens safe.Then Iris finds one name she never expected to see.Her brother's.The man she buried three years ago may still be alive.Suddenly branded unstable and stripped of the license that once made her a hero, Iris is forced to choose between the institution she has spent her life serving and the people it sacrificed in the name of public safety.But destroying the system could have consequences just as deadly as leaving it intact.Because beneath Vesper City, something is failing.And if Iris cannot uncover the truth before the network collapses, millions of ordinary people may pay the price.THE MERCY PROTOCOL is an adult superhero thriller about power, sacrifice, corruption, family, and the dangerous line between protecting people and controlling them.
