Sinopse

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction.

Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values.

Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.

    Penny Wright faces the ghost of a serial killer in this unputdownable paranormal thriller. 
    She's the one he's been waiting for. 
    Demler Mansion has seen its share of darkness. In 1995, serial killer Edmund Demler set a fire there, ending his own life. A quarter century later, urban explorers break into the old ruin. They find a once-grand house now falling into decay—blackened walls, broken furniture, echoes that sound like voices. 
    Then something far more terrifying finds them. 
    After this latest tragedy, medium Penny Wright arrives to investigate. She’s now part of a team of para-sensitives—sent by the mysterious Mercury Group—charged with ridding Demler Mansion of its haunting. From her first moments inside the house, Penny suspects that the spirit of Edmund Demler has never left. But the ghost is watching her, too. Luring her closer. Waiting for his moment to strike. And once he claims her, Demler has no intention of ever letting Penny go. 
    Note to readers: this suspenseful paranormal thriller can be enjoyed as a standalone.

She must be made to understand her purpose by the previous daughter of Eve. It is a great honour, and the ancient magic should be used wisely. The ancestral light energy is full of love and passion, always remembering, we are human, and have both light and dark within us, but the light will always beat the dark.
