Stillwater’s Edge: The Mercy We Break Book Two of the Trilogy Seven weeks after the storm that took Rowan, Stillwater should have been quiet. It isn’t. Evelyn has learned to live with ghosts—until the truth begins leaking through the cracks she tried to seal. The files her husband died to expose have ignited something larger: a war fought not with weapons, but with narratives . When the investigation turns on her, Evelyn becomes the face of a story she no longer controls. Deepfakes flood the airwaves. Threats arrive stamped with government seals. And somewhere beneath the wreckage, the voice of Hale—the man who helped her once and destroyed her twice—whispers through the static: You can’t kill belief. You can only rewrite it. As alliances fracture and old secrets crawl back to shore, Evelyn, Noah, and the remnants of their circle must decide how far truth is worth carrying when the act of telling it might end everything. In Stillwater, mercy isn’t forgiveness—it’s survival.
