He finds himself in a seaside town surrounded by rumors of war. He visits the priory, a place of welcome that quickly draws him in--and also a place of duty that refuses to let him go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe priory, its people, and its resident Angel have their own purpose in a far larger history of trauma and conflict. Malachi learns of ancient and modern atrocities and his grandfather's helplessness in the face of both. Past echoes become present concerns as a new battle approaches. Malachi repeatedly tries and fails to leave the escalating danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not his land, nor is it his war. He did not inherit his grandfather's vocation, nor take his grandfather's vows. None of this is his fault, nor even his responsibility.
