"For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it... But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance." - Psalm 55:12-14 ------ The word forgiveness appears more than a hundred times in the Holy Bible, depending on the version one reads. In Leonor's - once the book of a devoted Catholic - much to Thomas Shelby's dismay, it seemed to appear none at all.

Aurelia Balfour is miserable. Trapped in a loveless marriage, and with pretentious aristocratic women her only other company, Aurelia's tried everything from drinking to hysteria treatments to make her happy. One day, her fake friends begin to whisper about the nouveau-riche gang member who moved in next door, along with his cold wife. Aurelia recognises Thomas Shelby at once. She would have married him if not for the war, after all. GRACE HATE. I am a grace hater. If she has one hater, it's me. If she has no haters, I'm dead.

"I know you are a man who has lost a great deal, Mr. Shelby. And I know that fear is the only language you think Birmingham speaks. But I have spent ten years with the Sisters; your shadows don't frighten me nearly as much as the thought of a child going without a coat tomorrow." She is a woman of cloth and conviction. He is a man of lead and whiskey. Mabel is the lead teacher at the Grace Shelby Institute, a place built on the sins of the Shelby family. She isn't under any illusions about who pays her wages; she's seen the blood on the notes. But while the rest of Small Heath trembles at the click of iron-shod heels in the night, Mabel simply keeps her needle moving. When Thomas Shelby wanders into her classroom at two in the morning, he's looking for the silence his own mind refuses to give him. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to be his victim or his devotee. To Tommy, she is a sanctuary he doesn't deserve. To Mabel, he is a soul that no amount of prayer can fix-but that doesn't mean she won't try. A story of faith, fire, and the mending of a man who thought he was beyond repair.

Small Heath is a place for the living and the dead. Tonight, the lines blur. In 1914, on the eve of the Great War, Clara Thorne vanished. She left behind a distraught twin brother, a silver bracelet, and the shattered heart of Thomas Shelby. While Tommy fought in the hell of the trenches, Clara was enduring a purgatory of her own, held captive by a scavenger named Silas Vane and forced to raise a son, Matthew, in the shadows of the Black Country. Now it is 1922. The Peaky Blinders rule Birmingham, and Thomas Shelby is a man of ice and empire. With Grace Burgess pregnant and a proposal offered out of cold Shelby duty, Tommy has finally convinced himself that the past is buried. But the past has a habit of digging itself up. Drenched in the blood of the man she finally killed to escape, Clara walks through the doors of The Garrison with her son in tow.
