The HOUND of HEAVEN Hardcover – March 4, 2026

Faith rarely collapses in a single moment. More often, it erodes—quietly, under pressure.Set in Ireland during a period of moral and institutional unease, The Hound of Heaven follows Mondo, a student priest in formation whose private life begins to diverge from the vocation shaping him. As love intrudes and loyalty fractures, Mondo finds himself torn between an inherited faith built on silence and a truth that refuses to remain private. Around him are lives under strain:Benicia, fiercely gifted and marked by violence at home; Nadya, intellectually exacting and unwilling to accept easy answers; and a Church whose disciplines have hardened into habit rather than grace. What begins as a personal crisis becomes an urgent reckoning with power, secrecy, and belief.Darkly comic and morally charged, The Hound of Heaven is a novel of pursuit—of faith, love, and moral clarity—and of the cost of choosing honesty when silence is safer.
