About the book: year / According to church canon law, a priest is strictly forbidden to extradite a penitent. Even a murderer. What consequences could this have? Excommunication. I have listened to your confessions for many years. I know all your darkest secrets and have silently swallowed your sins. In return, I granted you forgiveness in His name. But behind the partition that separates us, I am nothing more than a person who has long doubted his own faith. Your repentance is my challenge: to administer the justice that you are so afraid of. Despite my appearance, I am not at all pious or merciful. I am an impostor, a desecration of all that I am. The silent executioner who keeps in the shadows. Until she appeared. She saw what I did. She knows what kind of person is hidden under this robe, and every mortal sin of mine. She has witnessed uncontrollable vices, which she now hopes to use against me in order to get what she craves more than anything in the world. But I also know her sins. The ones she didn't bother admitting to. Those for whom there is no forgiveness.
