Coming Soon: In the storm-battered New Mexico town of Benedición, three strangers discover that survival is not a matter of innocence — but of endurance.
A violent storm descends on the town—unnatural in its ferocity and persistence—trapping strangers and locals alike, cutting them off from escape and fraying the thin bonds of Benedición’s sanity. As floodwaters rise and tempers flare, old hatreds surface, and authority reveals its ugliest face.
And beneath it all, something dark and older than the town watches. A bitter payment is overdue.
A dark, atmospheric Western ghost story, A Reckoning in Mercy blends classic frontier realism with supernatural dread—where justice is uncertain, survival is costly, and the past is never truly forgiven.
Coming June 1, 2026 – The Colorado Plateau is no place for the living.
