In a remote village haunted by old superstitions, a girl marked by a strange encounter finds herself pulled toward a fate no one around her will name out loud. A silver bell, a watching wolf, and a bargain struck long before she was born close in around her — and every villager who might help her seems to know more than they're willing to say.Sheridan Le Fanu at his most folkloric: a slow-building tale of curses, silence, and the price of a debt owed to something that isn't quite human. Ideal for readers who like their Victorian horror rooted in the older, stranger logic of folk tale and superstition.
