The Traitor (The Carnivia Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
This was the region where the grapes for prosecco were grown, and every spare inch of land was covered in neat rows of vines. The Institute itself, a former monastery, was so hidden away that, if it weren’t for a discreet sign by the roadside, it would have been easy to miss the tall metal gates. On either side of the long driveway, men in brown monastic robes and women in blue habits worked the Institute’s own vines, or bustled to and fro between the sprawling buildings. But a keen eye would have noticed that it was the nuns who were doing the bustling, while many of the men had a listless, medicated air. The former were nurses, while the latter were patients. Father Uriel’s psychiatric work principally involved treating that small but notorious subset of the priesthood who had committed acts of sexual abuse. He believed some of them could be cured; perhaps more importantly, he believed that all of them could be redeemed. It was not only to avoid controversy that his hospital was so tucked away.
