I wasn't just surviving anymore; for the first time, I was beginning to exist.
Ashleigh has lived her entire life in the shadow of unspeakable secrets. After years of enduring the crushing violence and coercive control of her home, she finds a fragile sanctuary within the walls of St. Catherine's-a convent that serves as a quiet harbor for the broken. But even here, the ghosts of her past refuse to be silenced.
Haunted by the memory of the Hunter she once became to survive-a girl who wielded violence as the only tool of justice she knew-Ashleigh now stands at a terrifying threshold. Surrounded by the mute statues of saints who no longer answer her pleas, she is forced to confront a brutal truth: the identity she built to shield her from the darkness has left her completely, fundamentally alone.
As the lines between her past as a vigilante and her search for a genuine, unscripted future blur, Ashleigh must navigate the weight of her own choices. With no saints to justify her actions and no mission to define her purpose, she faces the most difficult battle of all: discovering who she truly is when the lights go out and the justifications fade.
A Canticle for the Broken is a haunting exploration of trauma, the corrosive nature of rage, and the agonizing, beautiful work of reclaiming one's own soul from the wreckage of the past.
Trigger Warning: This novel contains explicit content and graphic themes, including child abuse, sexual assault, violence, and religious trauma. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
