In the rain-soaked Valley of Despair, young Rune lives a quiet life with his father, a successful silk merchant. The valley, known for its sorrow and loss, becomes the unlikely setting for a divine calling. When a mysterious scroll from the Monastery of the Glen arrives at Rune’s doorstep, sealed with the mark of the Author of Love, everything changes.

The scroll invites Rune on a sacred pilgrimage across nine provinces, a journey that will test his faith, courage, and purpose. Before he departs, Rune prepares meticulously—saying farewell to dear friends like Pip and the resilient Widow Arlow, who moves into his home to support his father in his absence. Pip gifts Rune a handcrafted travel pack filled with items made lovingly by the village, a symbol of the unexpected love still alive in a place filled with grief.

As Rune sets out, he’s reminded that the path of truth is not always the obvious one. A cryptic message from a child redirects him from a ship toward a narrow, uncertain road—the first of many challenges that await him.

Rooted in themes of calling, sacrifice, and divine purpose, Monastery, is a spiritual fantasy that explores what it means to follow the narrow path when few dare to.
