Two young siblings, newly orphaned, are sent across the Scottish moors in the early sixteen hundreds to live with their aunt and uncle on a remote shepherd’s farm. Still burdened by grief and uncertainty, they arrive in a harsh, wind-scoured land where survival depends on cooperation, tradition, and an unspoken awareness that some nights are more dangerous than others.
As the children settle into life on the moors, they learn that a feared date is drawing near—one that generations of shepherd families have learned to prepare for without fully explaining to outsiders. Clear nights and open skies foster a fragile sense of confidence among the farms, but tension simmers beneath the surface as preparations quietly continue.
When the long-anticipated night finally arrives, the land itself seems to turn hostile. A terrifying presence moves through the darkness, livestock panic, and at least one farmer vanishes without a trace. In the days that follow, the children come to understand that what they witnessed was not legend or superstition, but a living truth the moors have guarded for centuries.
Night of the Warwolf is a slow-building historical horror story about inherited fear, communal resilience, and the permanent mark left by encountering something that does not belong to any man’s world.
