At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the titular character, Veera Vorontzoff, through her interactions with a narrator who has recently moved to St. Petersburg. Veera, a strikingly beautiful young woman, comes to seek the narrator's guidance, expressing her desire to dedicate her life to a greater cause after the death of her father and her mother’s retreat to a convent.
