- Summary:
- "Following a romantic scandal in the Duke's court, Lally Duchene is dismissed to a new post at a monastery turned asylum nestled in the wine country of the Rhineland. Unphased by local superstitions about ghosts and nixies in the forests, his days slip by in a haze. But something is stirring in this woodland idyll. Among the patients is a woman possessing an otherworldly aura. Phantasms disturb the night, and the vestiges of a sinister paganism leer from beneath holy facades. As the wine harvest approaches and Lally's past catches up with him at the monastery, eternal forces are awakening--and a carnage of ancient rites draws near"--Page 4 of cover.
