Some doors to knowledge are locked for a reason.
Dr. Ambrose Weatherby, a minor Cambridge scholar with a passion for ancient languages and forbidden texts, never expects his studies to extend beyond the page. But when he witnesses thirteen witches rising into the night sky from a decaying country house, curiosity demands explanation. Guided by linguistic precision and scholarly pride, Ambrose reconstructs an old flying unguent, memorizes perilous Latin phrases, and mounts a broom left suspiciously behind, determined to learn where the witches go, and why.
What begins as an exercise in understanding soon leads him far beyond the boundaries of safe inquiry. Drawn into a haunted wood and toward rites older than doctrine or reason, Ambrose finds himself standing at the edge of truths no scholar was ever meant to witness, where language does not merely describe reality, but alters it.
