A short story.
"Brother Gabriel, Daniel’s mentor and an ancient Urbat, plays an important role in The Lost Saint
as well as the upcoming conclusion to the Dark Divine trilogy, The
Savage Grace. We were first introduced to Gabriel in The Dark Divine
when Grace recieves a book of ancient letters that Gabriel (a young monk at the time) wrote to his sister during the Crusades, detailing his
search to know more about the Urbat. The book of letters ends just
before Gabriel falls to the Urbat curse, leaving us to wonder what
happened to him in the following years to turn him into the man he is
today.
Most of Gabriel’s letters were written during the
thirteenth century, and later translated and compiled by an Orthodox
priest in the eighteenth century. For whatever reason, some of Gabriel’s letters were lost after translation and did not make it into that
original book. But good news! A few of these “lost letters,” detailing
Gabriel’s fall to the Urbat curse and his quest to seek revenge on the
man responsible for his demise, have recently been “discovered” by the
indomitable crew at Egmont USA, and are compiled here for your reading
pleasure.
I hope you enjoy The Lost Letters of Brother Gabriel. I think they give a lot more depth to Brother Gabriel’s character and the mythology of the Dark Divine trilogy.
Always,
