In the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, the unworthy live in fear of the Supe-
rior Sister’s whip. Seething with resentment, they plot against each other and

await who will ascend to the level of the Enlightened – and who will suffer the
next exemplary punishment.

Risking her life, one of the unworthy keeps a diary in secret. Slowly, mem-
ories surface from a time before the world collapsed, before the Sacred

Sisterhood became the only refuge.

Then Luca arrives. She, too, is unworthy – but she is different. And her pres-
ence brings a single spark of hope to a world of darkness.
