Goddess of Mercy: Book 3 of the Elektros Saga

Elektros & Kandra are murder suspects and must leave Halicarnassus before sunup, but where can they go where they won't be followed? There is one place, Scythia, the Wild Lands, where Elektros has relatives he's never met. They acquire a guide named Drako, who knows the way but has a terrible secret of his own.

Marcellus Durrell has worked innumerable dreadful jobs but now works, decidedly less dreadfully, as a librarian. Goddess of Mercy is his fourth novel and third in his Elektros series.
