An English vineyard where the wine is legendary, and so are the disappearances.
Rebecca never expected her architecture career to end in a viral video.
Hounded by the online mob, she flees London for rural Somerset, the county where her sister Grace vanished five years ago, and takes a harvest job at Standing Stone Cellars, a biodynamic vineyard famous for wines that shouldn't be possible in the English climate.
Under ancient oaks and standing stones, the community welcomes her like family.
But the festivals that mark the wine-making year hide an older calendar, workers keep disappearing in the night, and the closer Rebecca comes to belonging, the closer she comes to the truth beneath the vines: every exceptional vintage demands its sacrifice, and the land has been waiting for her.
“The earth must be fed. Bounty only comes with sacrifice.”From Blood Vintage · Branwen, ch. 8
