In a remote borderland stands a strictly regulated convent, home only to women with complicated pasts—those who were driven from their homes for various reasons. But its true nature is something else entirely. Led by the young abbess Miranda, the convent is actually a women’s paradise, where the abbess and nuns gather gossip from across the kingdom, share juicy rumors, and live freely and joyfully. From time to time, troubled young ladies arrive at the convent: noblewomen whose engagements were broken, those suffering under betrothals to overbearing men, or girls desperate to win the affection of their fiancés. Armed with information collected through entertainment and rumor, the women of the convent vow to dispel every worry of these lost lambs. “So go on—claim happiness to your heart’s content!”
