A Wakenhyrst, un borgo del Suffolk, sorge Wake’s End, un maniero con tetti dissestati e finestre nascoste dall’edera. Questo luogo fuori dal tempo è circondato dalla Palude di Guthlaf. Qui vivevano Edmund Stearne, un ricco proprietario terriero e storico, e sua figlia Maude. Nel 1913, Maud assistette a un evento terribile: suo padre scese le scale armato di un punteruolo da ghiaccio e un martello da geologo, uccidendo brutalmente una persona. Dopo l’omicidio, Edmund fu internato in manicomio, dove creò tre dipinti inquietanti, grotteschi e malvagi, che potrebbero nascondere la chiave del crimine. Nel 1965, la storica dell’arte Robin Hunter decide di intervistare Maude, ormai anziana, per scoprire la verità. La sua indagine, però, solleva ulteriori interrogativi: i fatti del 1913 sono collegati a un dipinto medievale dell’Apocalisse trovato da Edmund nel cimitero di Wakenhyrst? I diavoli raffigurati nel dipinto hanno causato la sua follia, o sono i demoni del suo passato a essere responsabili della sua caduta? La ricerca di Robin si trasforma in un viaggio oscuro tra segreti e verità nascoste.
