Before the romances. Before the battles. Before they became the Brethren...they were simply cursed.
Across thousands of years, ordinary lives are shattered by extraordinary punishment.
In ancient Mesopotamia, Rebekka sacrifices everything to protect her sister-and earns the wrath of a god. In Greece, grief drives Demetrius to an act of brutal vengeance, while Atticus risks divine punishment for forbidden love. Centuries later, lies, broken vows, misplaced loyalty, forbidden desires, grief, pride, and terrible mistakes condemn others to the same fate.
Immortality.
Stone.
And a curse that can only be broken by confronting the very flaw that created it.
They come from different cultures, different centuries, and very different lives. Some deserve their punishment.
Some don't.
But all of them must learn how to survive it.
Through centuries of loneliness, violence, loss, and an ever-changing mortal world, these cursed souls slowly find one another. What begins as a collection of outcasts becomes something none of them expected to find again.
A home.
A family.
The Brethren of the Cathedral.
The Hardest Beginning reveals the origins, curses, heartbreaks, and secrets of the immortals readers will meet throughout The Brethren of the Cathedral series-and sets the stage for Demetrius's story in The Hardest Blessing.
Perfect for readers who love cursed immortals, gargoyles, mythology-inspired fantasy, dark supernatural history, found family, ancient gods, redemption, and characters who are anything but perfect.
