About this audiobook
In a lonely workroom steeped in rosemary, wormwood, and old bargains, healer Isolde has spent thirty years offering impossible cures at an impossible price: years taken from the life of the one who asks. She has always believed the exchange was fair—until a young mother arrives seeking to save her dying child, calm in her grief and utterly willing to pay. Faced with the cleanest, most undeniable consent she has ever witnessed, Isolde is forced into a reckoning far more dangerous than magic itself: what mercy means when the cost is real, and whether a life built on principle can survive the moment that principle finally turns inward. Haunting, intimate, and morally piercing, The Price of Mercy is a dark paranormal tale of sacrifice, conscience, and the terrible knowledge that some bargains do not reveal their true weight until you pay them yourself.
Fiona Mapleton writes paranormal cozy mysteries that celebrate found family, impossible love, and protagonists who solve the unsolvable. The Thornfield Hollow Mysteries feature Mara Westfield, a blind medium who teams up with the ghost of a 1952 murder victim to solve cold cases and catch killers. When not writing about ghosts and small-town secrets, Fiona can be found enjoying her two rough collies, drinking too much coffee, and plotting the perfect murder (on paper, of course).View all by Fiona Mapleton
