Under his influence, ordinary village fears and resentments take a deadly turn, and soon women are the targets of his crusade. Terror mounts. Dark secrets come to light. But in the midst of it all, a man and woman-the priest and the sheriff’s unloved wife-somehow dare to listen to another Voice . and discover what it means to love instead of fear.
