She writes her story in dirt, ink, and blood.
Inside the walls of the Sacred Sisterhood, a woman known only as an unworthy obeys, suffers, and prays for ascension. The Enlightened rule in silence, the Superior Sister watches all, and outside, the world collapses—cities drowned, survivors scavenging in the ruins. Within the convent, devotion is survival.
But when a stranger arrives, memories stir of a life forgotten and a truth too dangerous to name. Obedience turns to doubt, and safety becomes its own cage.
From the author of Tender Is the Flesh, The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica is a haunting novel of faith, violence, and control—literary horror that confronts the price of salvation in a world already damned. A national bestseller.
