Doctor Michael Crawford, traveling to get married, takes refuge in an English inn during a storm. Drunk, he places the ring meant for his fiancée on the finger of a statue; when he returns to retrieve it, the statue is gone. The plot recreates English Romanticism with vampires, poets and supernatural elements.

A work for readers of Tim Powers and historical fiction with a gothic atmosphere.
