A young woman murdered in a chapel is honoured as a virgin saint, and devotion grows around the story of her purity and death. Over time, rumours and contradictory evidence threaten the reputation on which the cult depends.
The linked mysteries follow generations of clergy, pilgrims, investigators and opportunists who either defend or challenge the legend. Violence repeatedly erupts when religious authority, local income and personal identity depend on keeping one version of the supposed saint's life intact.
