He was standing between the two tallest stones. They leaned towards him, not touching him, two tall, hard grey shapes, damp with mist. It was as if they were in communion with each other - something was passing between them and he had broken the circuit. He stepped forward into the circle, and knew he had disturbed a pattern. He didn't feel threatened, only afraid. He didn't believe they wished him harm, only that they were dangerous, unimaginably dangerous...
It is July, the time of year governed by Cancer, the Moon's sign. In a remote corner of Yorkshire, David's father excavates a Roman mosaic, while on a nearby hillside leans an ancient stone circle. The Weeping Stones - wreathed in history and legend that fascinates David. But in this community of stone David discovers something more, something unfathomable and mysterious - and profoundly menacing.
