'Black Spring' takes the passionate story of Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' and re-imagines it in a fantasy 19th-century society set in savage lands sustained by wizardry, where its people live by the vengeance code of vendetta. Like 'Wuthering Heights', it's a story within a story, featuring the brooding young Damek, who is swept along by his emotions. The object of his affections is Lina, daughter of the village lord, whose magical powers make her a witch - and witches are not tolerated in this brutally patriarchal society.
