From her cell in a mysterious convent, cloistered away from the climate catastrophe that has plunged the world into chaos, a woman writes the story of her life in whatever she can find--discarded ink, dirt, and even her blood. A lower member of the Sacred Sisterhood, deemed an unworthy, she dreams of ascending to the ranks of the Enlightened at the center of the convent and of pleasing the foreboding Superior Sister. But when a strange newcomer joins the ranks of the unworthy, the narrator is forced to consider her long-buried past in this unforgettably chilling new offering from the best selling author of Tender is the flesh.
