The begining of the end"-The Downtrodden: Volume 0 “The Beginning of the End” Before the miracles. Before the monsters. Before the fall of Golden Hine, there was the dig. Seventeen years ago, the small Southern town of Golden Hind, Georgia was just another forgotten dot on the map, until a powerful developer named Lucky began construction on what was promised to be a new age of prosperity. But when the ground broke, something beneath that land woke up. Something ancient. Something that was never meant to see the light. Across town, Blanca and Langston Waites live a quiet family life, until a mysterious event at the construction site changes everything, binding their bloodline to the supernatural forces buried deep below. Meanwhile, a strange young girl named Sunset enters the lives of a devout couple and a charismatic boy named Lionel, setting in motion a series of events that will redefine faith, power, and destiny. As men chase wealth, children uncover buried truths, and divine beings whisper through the cracks of reality, the first spark of The Downtrodden’s world is lit. What rises from that ground will echo for generations… and it all begins here. The Downtrodden: Volume 0 is the crucial prologue to Kalvin “Papa Bear” Harris’s supernatural epic, revealing the sins that started it all and the awakening that will reshape the human race.
