The perfect wine requires the darkest sacrifice.
In the rolling hills of Somerset, England, ancient evil ripens alongside the grapes of Standing Stone Cellars…
Fleeing a violent clash with eco-activists in London, architect Rebecca seeks refuge at Standing Stone Cellars—a vineyard renowned for its award-winning wines and mysterious history, nestled among ancient oaks and standing stones.
But this is no sanctuary.
From Beltane to Samhain, Rebecca becomes ensnared in an ancient cycle of sacrifice and rebirth. When fellow workers disappear amidst evidence of blood rites, she confronts a horrifying truth: Standing Stone's exceptional vintage is nourished by more than sunlight and soil.
As the veil between worlds thins, Rebecca faces an impossible choice: embrace the vineyard's dark legacy and join its guardians, or become the next offering to the insatiable Horned God.
