The modern rides parallel with the fifteenth-century to tell the tale of Joan Archer as she sets out on a mission to swear-in the President of the Nameless who are in a turf war with a rival club, the Goddamns. In less than a year, Joan is dead and her mission accomplished. The devastated Bluebeard, however, is not content to let her rest in peace. In his attempt to justify murder, he convinced himself he was above the law. Regrettably, he sank beneath it. Ultimately, both were destroyed by a degenerate modernity even as they tried to fight their way through it.Sadly, this is far too often what happens to our would-be saviors and heroes. This tale of love and faith gone awry is a tragic encounter between tradition and progress. Though progress claims its victims, Joan inspires a series of events in later books that will see tradition weather the coming storm.
