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.
