Features: This romance was inspired by the story of the Muslim saint Basset in The Guardian. In the bloody stories of many places in Germany, nuns are well-known traditional figures, giving birth to the literary source of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings . This Gothic novel depicts a highly respected abbess who, to satisfy her abnormal and pathological desires, utilizes the process of falling from the devil, while also telling the painful experience of a young woman who refuses to wear a veil, struggling against religion and ultimately achieving happiness. To some extent, it reveals the darkness and sins of the medieval church.
