On the eve of their wedding in Scotland, dominatrix Nora Sutherlin
the novelist and Father Søren, joined by Kingsley, chat about the year that
changed everything. During that pivotal period
in their lives, twentyish Elle (Nora’s nee name) and Kingsley left New York;
each fleeing from their heartless master Søren.
Elle stayed with her mom at the latter’s convent in Upstate New
York where she soon enjoyed a sexual relationship as the dom with a sub virgin
nun Kyrie that led to the emergence of the author and dominatrix. Kingsley went to Haiti where he liberated
Juliette from the French ambassador and fell in love with her.
The third Original Sinners: The White Years (see
The Saint and The King) is a must read for series fans (see The Red Years) as
The Virgin fills in the backstory of what happened during that critical year of
change. The delightful Kingsley-Juliet
subplot adds complexity to both characters especially the female; while the
Elle-Kyrie segue lacks that same level of intensity perhaps because the much
more mesmerizing mother-daughter relationship overwhelms it.
