This book follows a young French soldier who, after witnessing the bombing of Reims Cathedral, charges German soldiers to avenge its destruction. Gravely injured, he is sent to a hospital. There, during a feverish dream, he is visited by an angel representing the spirit of the cathedral, who relays the history of the church and its deep connections to the French people. The soldier wakes to find the angel assuming the form of his nurse.
