Sister Juliana
does. She's seen miracles happen as she tends Saint
Catherine's altar and guards her relic. Yet she doesn't
quite dare to believe that even Saint Catherine could help
her atone for her wicked past.
Anna does. And she so
desperately needs one. In a time when a deformity is
interpreted as evidence of a grievous sin, in a place where
community is vital to existence, Anna has no family, no
home, and no master.
Princess Gisele wants to. A
miracle is the only thing that can save her from being given
to a brutal, pagan chieftain in marriage.
For those
who come in faith, saints offer the answer to almost any
prayer. But other forces are plotting to steal Saint
Catherine's relic, to bend the saint's power to their own
use. Penitent, pilgrim, princess — all will be drawn
into an
epic struggle where only faith can survive. But in a quest
for divine blessing, only the most ruthless of souls may win
the prize.
