Mercedes Isadora, born into a wealthy family immersed in a cult, was raised to be obedient to the High Priest, maintain an immaculate appearance as a woman of High Power, and accept her role as the one of their priest's mistresses. However, she differed from her cult peers, seeking knowledge beyond their beliefs. Before turning twenty, she planned to escape the cult's clutches, but her attempt led her to be captured by a man suspecting her family's involvement in a series of women disappearances. Now facing an uncertain fate, Mercedes grapples with the dilemma of whether escaping the cult was a blessing or if the new danger posed by her captor is more formidable. Her desire for a normal life clashes with her new mission to prove her innocence by helping him unravel her family and the cult's secrets.
