Synopsis

In Victorian England, siblings William and Tamara Swift have inherited the role of Protectors of Albion after their grandfather was killed in a supernatural battle and their father was possessed by a demon.

Summoned to the remote village of Blackbriar by Dr. Nichols, they investigate a horror: babies born to the village's young, unwed girls are being replaced by demon children.

Accompanied by the ghost of the warrior-queen Bodicea - one of several spirits dwelling in their family home - the Swifts travel to Blackbriar, where they cross a seductive warrior's shade and a vengeful fairy queen determined to keep the mystery buried.

A novella in the Ghosts of Albion franchise that Amber Benson and Christopher Golden created, which began as a BBCi online animated serial.
