On her twelfth birthday, Sierva Maria â€" the only child of a decaying noble family in an eighteenth-century South American seaport â€" is bitten by a rabid dog. Believed to be possessed, she is brought to a convent for observation. And into her cell stumbles Father Cayetano Delaura, who has already dreamed about a girl with hair trailing after her like a bridal train.
