Akura Mercy

Character from cradle-waybound by

The Akura heir who must choose between her family's Monarch and her friends — ultimately siding with Lindon to force her own mother off Cradle.

Mercy's arc in Waybound is the hardest one: she has to fight her mother. Akura Malice — the Monarch who built the Akura clan into a continental power, who raised Mercy to be an heir and a weapon — refuses to leave Cradle. Malice would rather perpetuate the Dreadgod cycle than surrender the power she has spent millennia accumulating. Mercy chooses Lindon's side. Not because she doesn't love her mother, but because she understands what Malice will not accept: that the Monarchs' presence on Cradle is the disease, not the cure. It costs her everything — her family, her inheritance, her mother's love — and she does it anyway, because Mercy has always been braver than anyone gives her credit for. She still smiles. She still tries to see the best in people. And she helps bring down a Monarch to save a world.
