This is a ghost story that revolves around werewolves and the mysterious happenings that occur in the dark of night. It takes place in the ill-fated land of Northern England, specifically the pathless moors, which are well-documented in Wuthering Heights. The story follows a real family whose destiny is intertwined with this dark and glamorous world. When young Emily Brontë encounters a wounded man at the foot of an ancient pagan shrine in the remote Yorkshire moors, her life becomes intricately connected to his. He is Alcuin Curzon, a member of a sect dedicated to eradicating the resurgent plague of lycanthropy in Europe and northern England. However, Emily's father, the curate of the Haworth village church, is responsible for inadvertently summoning a demonic werewolf god to Yorkshire forty years ago, and it has possessed Emily's brother, a foolish and dissolute individual. Curzon views Emily's family as a grave threat, but despite their deadly conflict, Emily and Curzon find themselves working together to combat werewolves, confront pagan gods, and even save each other from the temptations of moorland demons. In the final battle, which spans from the haunted village of Haworth to a monstrous shrine far out on the moors, Emily and Curzon are reluctant allies against an ancient power that threatens to claim their souls and their lives.
