Synopsis

One man's determination to save his family from evil will save England from the dark fire.
London 1908. Jonathan Drake is a London solicitor with a pedigreed family history. He travels to Eastern Europe to meet with a mysterious baron who is buying a prestigious London property. The journey becomes a nightmare when Jonathan goes missing. Meanwhile, the baron departs for London, settles into his Belgravia mansion, and cleverly integrates himself into London’s high society. His friends include Jonathan’s wife and parents, along with celebrities and aristocrats. Several months later, Jonathan appears on the doorstep of his home, bringing with him a strange servant named Joe Golm—a human-looking, supernatural creature from Prague. Jonathan's family and friends are shocked by his unexpected return, and by his fierce hatred of the baron. Rumors of Jonathan’s mental instability start to circulate, threatening to ruin his reputation. Jonathan and Joe must protect not only the Drake family from the baron’s evil plans, but also a young Winston Churchill, whom the baron regards as a mortal enemy. Ultimately, they must foil the baron’s prophecy that a dark fire will engulf all of Europe—and eventually, the world. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and drawing upon legends of the golem from Jewish lore, The Dark Fire weaves historical fiction and supernatural suspense into a haunting tale of loyalty, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds of faith and family.
