Quebec, 1944. Julie arrives at the Convent of the Precious Blood, but she carries more than devotion within her walls. Born from an unholy union with the Devil, she embodies a twisted version of the Immaculate Conception. The nuns pray and perform Mass while Julie's presence awakens darker rituals that mirror their sacred ceremonies. In the isolated mountains surrounding the convent, satanic rites unfold as counterpoint to religious dedication. Julie's sexual initiation into sorcery collides with the cloistered life of the sisters. Demonic possession seeps through the convent walls as exorcism battles witchcraft. The novel shifts between these two worlds, revealing how thin the boundary grows between sacred and profane. Julie's arrival forces a confrontation between God and Devil, between prayers and curses, between the light of devotion and the power that lurks in shadow.
