Set in the 1850s, the narrative follows Bishop Jean Marie Latour and his vicar, Father Joseph Vaillant, as they strive to revive the Roman Catholic faith in post-annexation New Mexico. The region, characterized by its desolation and diverse populations—including long-established Mexicans, indigenous groups with varied languages and customs, and recent settlers—serves as a backdrop for their mission. The story intertwines the priests' spiritual journey with the broader cultural and environmental transformations of the land and its people during this period.
