16-year-old Edith Whitehead's family is cursed.
The last surviving child of Father Jude Whitehead, a revered priest, she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders. In the small, devoutly religious town of Edgarsburg, she is almost utterly alone with no one to relate to. But, since she lives in the lonely manor above the Sacred Sanctuary of the Celebrated Chrysanthemum, she sees all the comings and goings. Edith utilizes her forbidden knowledge to get what she wants, no matter the cost, while upholding her holy image with an ever-growing fragility.
It was not so long ago that her mother went mad and abandoned her father, strengthening his piety and inner rage. In a town of secrets and scandals, abuse and sacrilege, a place where everyone is everything but holy, Edith is at the center of it all. Her growing determination to find out her mother's fate clashes with her father's goal of keeping what happened secret. But how far can a person go before destroying everything in the process?
