Catherine LeVendeur is a young novice-scholar at the Convent of the Paraclete. Beautiful, learned, willful, and stubborn, Catherine's natural curiosity and individualism have always set her apart. She has come to the convent to conquer her sin of pride, to pray, and to serve God. But service can come in many forms, and to save her Order, Catherine will risk much: disgrace and the wrath of family and Church. She will travel to the great abbey of St. Denis to uncover plots most foul. Amid stolen gems, mad monks and dead bodies Catherine will strive to unlock the puzzle that threatens all she holds dear.
