The Loupers – ancient mysteries awaken amid the struggles of life

In 1965, twin brothers flee a Ballarat monastery under cover of night.
Decades later, a small dog with ancient eyes guards a grieving Melbourne family.
The Loupers is a luminous contemporary novel exploring generational trauma, redemption, and the sacred bond between humans and their chosen canine companions – shamanic soul-trackers who leap beyond darkness into hope and healing.
