This is a story about ghosts. This is a story about werewolves and what happens at night. This is a story about a ill-fated country, about the impenetrable heathland of Northern England, brilliantly described in «Wuthering Heights». And it is...
also a story of a real family destined by fate to deal with this enchanted, dark, and dangerous world. When young Emily Brontë helps a wounded man she finds at the foot of an ancient pagan shrine in the remote Yorkshire moors, their lives become closely intertwined. He is Alcuin Curzon, a bitter member of a cult seeking to eradicate the resurging plague of lycanthropy in Europe and Northern England. And the man who unwittingly brought the demonic werewolf god to Yorkshire forty years ago, who possessed Emily's beloved but simple-minded and wayward brother, is her own father, the vicar of the church in the village of Haworth. And now Curzon sees a terrible danger in the Brontë family. Despite such strong disagreements, Emily and Alcuin join forces to fight the werewolves, appeal to the pagan gods, and even save each other from the temptations of the moorland demons. Two reluctant allies in a final battle that will sweep from the haunted village of Haworth to a monstrous shrine deep in the moors. People standing against an ancient force that can take not only their lives but their souls.
