    Summary

    Thomas Cardinal Lawrence has prayed for a new Pope who doubts, a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and carries on. Instead, he gets a gentle, otherworldly saint who is far above the troubles and failings of ordinary men. Or is he?

    The first twenty-four hours of Innocent XIV's pontificate turn out to be the best of Thomas's life, and the worst, and then the best again, and then the worst again… Because sometimes the Holy Spirit sends you certainty, and sometimes he sends you a rollercoaster.

    As the wolves snarl and maul, the sheep quail and the sheepdogs scramble to retain control, Thomas learns that still waters run deep, and that friend and foe alike will underestimate this new shepherd of theirs at their peril.
