The Prophet and his ancestors had the Gift of Sight, and Martha had the Gift of Naming. The Age of Light had ended after the Holy Wars, during which the four witches (Jael, Mercy, Lilith, and Delilah) worked as servants of the Dark Mother to fight against the Father. In the Age of Light, the Father had given many humans supernatural Gifts, but now they were quite rare. Only the Prophet and his closest companions were able to leave through the Hallowed Gate to venture out into the rest of the world. She lived in a small village named Bethel, which was surrounded on all sides by the Darkwood, which were said to be haunted. Immanuelle herself had not yet bled, which was unusual for a girl of her age.
Her best friend, Leah, was betrothed to the Prophet. Immanuelle was 17 and attended church with her family. “Blood” is the second section of the novel. This pleased the dying mother, who said the curse the witch in the woods had told her about was nearly complete. When the baby was born, Martha said that her name was to be Immanuelle. In “Beast,” the midwife, Martha, delivered her daughter’s child. The novel is broken up into five sections and is narrated in the third-person past with a focus on Immanuelle. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Henderson, Alexis.
