The companion volume to Matt Black's critically acclaimed American Geography presents a deeper view of his six-year odyssey documenting poverty in the United States.

In the middle of the Enlightenment Age, Roberto is a sixteen-year-old novitiate caught between two worlds: the monastic life he has been committed to, and the modern world he's forced to leave behind. Lost in the wilderness of Eastern Europe during a freezing storm, he and his mentor stumble upon Pelekete, a secluded monastery where a small group of monks reluctantly gives them refuge.The abbey proves to be a strange and ominous place. Whispers carry through the halls. Crows linger on the crumbled cornices like gargoyles. Strange dreams fester in the minds of all who sleep here. Soon, the dark secrets of Pelekete begin to unravel, thrusting the novitiate into a life-or-death struggle of faith, deception, insanity, and evil.
