Where a Romano-British settlement once sprawled across the hills of Northern England, a modern town now stands. Caught in a tense struggle between the growth of the university and industrial expansion, its future takes a sinister and uncanny turn when a discovery is made beneath the old town hall. 

The university comes into possession of the skeleton of a woman, buried alongside a mysterious tablet bearing a cryptic message. As an unusual heatwave grips the town and sightings of a shadowy figure behind to spread, tensions among the townspeople steadily mount. Soon, the vengeful force of a long-buried curse draws the community toward a terrifying night of flames and carnage. 

Never republished since its first edition in 1922, this lost gem of twentieth-century supernatural fiction returns at last to showcase the work of a fascinating and overlooked author. Atmospheric, unsettling, and rich in Gothic suspense, it is a remarkable rediscovery for readers of classic horror.
