Synopsis

Christina Dubois, the devoted wife of a prominent bishop, built her reputation on unwavering faith and significant church influence, believing her standing was a divine reward for prayer, piety and hard work. However, the bedrock of her authority is a clandestine covenant, a pact with dark forces that paved her path to power. Now, the price of this infernal agreement is due, threatening to shatter her meticulously constructed life and expose the clandestine sacrifices made in the pursuit of ambition. As the facade of her public devotion crumbles, buried desires and betrayals emerge, revealing the relentless hunger that fueled her rise. Engulfed in a spiritual conflict masked as church politics, Christina must face the repercussions of her Faustian bargain. Her quest for salvation becomes inextricably linked to the well-being of her family, as her faith is tested and her allegiances strained by insidious temptations. This intense narrative delves into the corrupting influence of power and the ruinous expense of unbridled ambition, culminating in a desperate fight for redemption where faith, forbidden desires, and deadly deceit converge.
