From the author of The Fire and The Serpent series comes a soul-searching short story that wrestles with justice, mercy, and the power of choice.
In the Between is a reflective, emotionally charged journey that explores the tension between truth and self-deception, justice and mercy, and the high cost of choosing not to forgive. Nothing is quite as it seems in this thought-provoking tale, which invites readers to wrestle with what they believe—and what they are unwilling to let go.
