Through the eyes of Chantal Prym, a young innkeeper, the novel delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the eternal struggle between good and evil, fear and courage, and the true cost of moral decisions. Coelho challenges readers to ponder the essence of humanity when faced with ultimate temptation.
