The Yorkshire village of Morton is hiding a dangerous man and Jane is determined to bring him to justice. When Jane and Mr. Rochester are unexpected witnesses to a man violently attacking his own wife, Jane resolves to deliver this young woman from her ill-fated marriage. But there are strange things abroad on the open moor. Soon a man is dead from a seemingly diabolical cause. The village suspects something even stranger: the haunting presence of the Gytrash. Meanwhile, Jane questions the intentions of a local naturalist, not to mention the parson's cousin and his perplexing attitude towards Mary Rivers. The seemingly peaceful Morton Vale is stirring up too many questions, and Jane and Mr. Rochester are determined to find answers. Uncovering the truth will be more difficult—and more dangerous—than they ever expected.
