Twenty-three years after leaving America to fetch supplies, Sarum Crayne finally escapes from captivity in North Africa. He rushes back to Virginia, desperate to be reunited with his wife Elizabeth – only to find that the colony has been abandoned.
Soon, however, Sarum discovers that something more sinister might have happened. As he and his friend George Burrell try to work out exactly where the colonists went, they uncover disturbing signs of a violent attack. Something is watching from the trees, something that doesn't want anyone living on the land, and Sarum starts to wonder whether Elizabeth might be hiding nearby.
A strange encounter in the forest gives Sarum a lead, and he soon sets out to rescue his wife and any other colonists who are still alive. By the time he understands the ghostly force that he's up against, however, he might be too late to fight back effectively. And with the fate of the entire colony at stake, Sarum knows that he can't afford to fail.
But what strange spirit lives in the forest? And how can it be defeated, when Sarum barely even understands what he's fighting?
