As the pandemic shutters the world, an improbable band of strangers seeks sanctuary in a remote Hawaiian monastery. What begins as a temporary refuge quickly becomes something far more unsettling—and transformative. Secrets surface, unlikely bonds form, and a shadowy danger begins to close in—and none of them fully understands.
Witty and quietly suspenseful, The Reluctant Monastics is a sharply observed ensemble story about unlikely community, fractured faith, and the search for meaning when everything familiar falls away. Readers familiar with Kierkegaard will find rich echoes; others will simply enjoy the human drama.
