Hymn of an Immortal: A Story of a Curse, a Life, and a Death

Adelaide lives in New Orleans with her father, her younger brother, and her best friend in 1722. She lives a life of peace as a baker in her father's bakery, and she's the only one she knows who is literate. But one day, the madman Leroux makes his monthly return to the town, claiming to chase away the Devil from people's doorsteps. Adelaide doesn't believe him - she never has.
That is, until one night, when he captures her, and she realizes something has changed her forever...

In her debut novel, Amelia Loren tells the story of grief, love, and loss based on stories from her life and stories she has heard from others. While this tale is a vast departure from her personality, she believes that a story of grief is a story well-told. After all, "that's how I know I loved - because I grieved."
