Wishing to escape from her pretentious New York fiance, Valhalla Montgomery eagerly abandons her career as a journalist when she is given the opportunity to visit her brother in London. On her arrival, however, she's shocked to discover that he and his wife have disappeared - leaving their two young children all alone. Finding Victorian London a gloomy and sinister place, haunted by a series of Ripper-style murders, Valla takes the children up to Castle Barebane, a bleak family property in Scotland. In this Gothic ruin, perched on the edge of a cliff, the mystery surrounding her missing brother begins to unravel - growing darker and more terrifying.
