My brother's keeper
14.99 €
It's a ghost story. It's a story about werewolves and things that happen in the night. It's a story about a hapless land, about the impenetrable moors of Northern England, brilliantly described in Wuthering Heights. And it's also the story of a real family destined to encounter this enchanted, dark, and dangerous world.
When young Emily Brontë helps a wounded man she finds at the foot of an ancient pagan shrine on the remote Yorkshire moors, their lives become intertwined. He is Alcuin Curzon, a bitter member of a sect seeking to eradicate the resurgent plague of lycanthropy from Europe and Northern England.
And the man who forty years ago unwittingly brought a demonic werewolf god to Yorkshire, possessing Emily's beloved but dim-witted and dissolute brother, is her own father, the vicar of the church in the village of Haworth. And now Curzon sees the Brontë family as a terrible danger.
Despite such profound differences, Emily and Alcuin join forces to fight werewolves, turn to 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 far out on the moors. People standing against an ancient force that could take not only their lives, but their souls.
