Mercy has been keeping a secret from his loved ones and his village. A secret that could very well end his life. Descended from a group of ancient warriors from Aitus, Mercy is destined to become the greatest Keeper of Light the planet has ever seen, but one mistake will cost him everything.

With the threat of a war against the monarchy higher than ever before, Mercy Validus is faced with his biggest challenge yet— a fight for his life, those he cares for, and his own sanity. His foundation begins to crumble as his friendships with Sylas Bellator and Caligo Tenerbis become strained, and he begins to understand just how much power he truly holds. He watches as both Sylas and Caligo begin to deteriorate in front of him as his true inability to protect those he cares for becomes evident.

With Bryer Nitesems and Malice on a rampage, Caligo, Sylas, and Zero are scrambling to find a way to bring their friend back from the brink. With the rebels now taking shots too close to home and leaving mass destruction in their wake, the group must act fast. Trying to run a monarchy where the world is against you is proving to be a struggle for Caligo though.

Written entirely in East Coast Scots, A Working Class State of Mind, the debut book by Colin Burnett, brings the everyday reality and language of life in Scotland to the surface. Colin's fiction takes themes in the social sciences and animates them in vivid ethnographic portrayals of what it means to be working-class in Scotland today. Delving into the tragic exploits of Aldo, as well as his long-suffering best friends Dougie and Craig, the book follows these and other characters as they make their way in a city more divided along class lines than ever before.
