From the introduction: The rededication of Notre Dame de Québec promises to be the biggest social event of the decade. The exiled Governor has returned to confront his rival, a centuries-old curse of the Adversary will come to pass, the first Bishop of the New World will take his final step toward sainthood, and the most respected ecumenical college on the continent will adopt a secret mandate. And that is all before the ceremony even begins! Set in the Capitol of New France in the summer of 1689.
