Amid the chaos and horror of the French Revolution, Blanche de la Force, daughter of smug unbeliever, enters a Carmelite convent. Blanche is so timorous that she seems unsuited to the rigors of religious life even at the best of times--and horribly misplaced as the Reign of Terror begins to stain France with the blood of a generation of Christian martyrs.
