At twenty years old, Mary Walker has spent the better part of her life within the quiet, mist-shrouded halls of Saint Agatha's Convent, tucked deep in the forests of Oregon. Rescued from a horrific tragedy when she was just six, Mary was given sanctuary and purpose-raised to believe her salvation lay in devotion, silence, and surrender to God's will.
But when Father Luke-the parish's young, handsome high priest with a shadowed past-summons her for a mission outside the convent, Mary is thrust into a world far removed from sacred hymns and candlelit chapels. The air is thick with dread, the churches are empty, and the people whisper of possessions, curses, and a presence that watches from the trees.
As Mary and Father Luke investigate the growing darkness, their bond begins to fray the boundaries of their vows. Each encounter with evil tests her faith-and each glance, each touch from him tests her restraint. What began as a holy mission becomes a descent into a terrifying mystery, where temptation burns hotter than hellfire and the line between sinner and saint begins to blur.
Litany of the Damned is a gothic tale of spiritual warfare and forbidden longing, set in the haunting wilderness of Oregon. Here, love is dangerous, lust is damning, and the devil doesn't always knock-sometimes, he waits inside.
