Sister Marian is a witch hunter, a Mother Superior and a heretic—guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father Church brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer.

As she delivers murderous judgment night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture…but what can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?
