A London woman responds to a peculiar ad for a governess at Darkdale Manor in Yorkshire. She meets Jonathan Roydon, a gaunt eccentric master, who offers generous pay to educate his two mute, isolated children, seven and five, amid a moonlit lake, Gothic grounds, and an eerie, silent house. The narrator moves from expectation to mounting unease as night noises and strange appearances hint at deeper secrets surrounding Darkdale.
