Angélique is enthralled by the tales of the saints and martyrs as told in the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine. Her dream is to be saved by a handsome prince and to live happily ever after, in the same way, the virgin martyrs have their faiths tested on earth before being rescued and married to Jesus in heaven.
