Said my Lord to my Lady,
as he rode away
'Beware of Long Lankin
that lives in the hay.'
Cora and her younger sister, Mimi are sent to live with their elderly aunt, who is not at all happy to see them, in the small village called Byers Guerdon. Aunt Ida is strict and cold, and she treats the girls distantly, making them yearn for their home back in London, and she even asks that their father come get them and take them away even though they have to stay. But what the girl's can't know is that there is a history of disappearing children in their aunt's family, and she will do anything to keep the same fate from befalling her nieces. Cora is curious about the strange town, and about the secrets that are hidden there, so she befriends a couple of village boys that are eager to help her unravel things. However, an ancient evil has been patiently and silently waiting for its next victim, and it has set its sights on Mimi. Cora has to race against time to save her sister's life from a darkness that has an insatiable hunger for children.
