Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria. It’s an unforgiving job, and Hart’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness.

Mercy never has a moment to herself. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.

After yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born.

If only Hart knew he’s been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most—Mercy. As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares—each other?

“Narrators Michael Gallagher and Rachanee Lumayno bring life to a whimsical fantasy romance between a demigod zombie-hunting marshal and the beautiful undertaker who infuriates him. Lumayno narrates as Mercy, the undertaker who is determined to keep her family’s business afloat. Lumayno’s compassionate narration helps listeners understand Mercy’s growing appreciation for her solemn task. Gallagher’s steady pace and gravelly voice convey the loneliness of Hart, in the wilderness and on the hunt. When Hart and Mercy unknowingly strike up an anonymous correspondence by magical post, listeners will grin as the characters deliver increasingly heartfelt letters to each other. Then attacks from their enemies increase, and the two find themselves drawn together in real life. Can they–and their romance–survive the dangers and secrets of their magical world?”… AudioFile 2022
