About This Book
The echo of footsteps fills the grand cathedral as the Abbe's soutane sways with every step. The air is thick with the scent of old stone and whispered prayers, and the hush of the chapel holds a secret challenge. What will happen when Pierre, the quiet boy with a wandering gaze, is called to recite the Ten Commandments all alone?
