Some treasures should never be found.
When antiques dealer Wilbur Cox stumbles across a strange old book at a neighborhood yard sale, he thinks he's discovered another forgotten collectible. The seller seems unusually anxious to part with it, but Wilbur dismisses the odd encounter and takes his purchase back to his antique shop.
The book is unlike anything he's ever seen. Written in an ancient, indecipherable language, it refuses to reveal its secrets. Yet the more time Wilbur spends with it, the more his life begins to change. Innocent wishes become terrifying reality. Good fortune twists into tragedy. Every stroke of luck carries a devastating price.
When Wilbur inherits his late uncle's secluded house, he soon discovers he hasn't inherited a home-he's inherited a nightmare. Restless spirits roam its halls, long-buried family secrets begin to surface, and a mysterious psychic warns him that the strange volume in his possession is no ordinary book of magic. It is an ancient object of unimaginable evil that has passed through countless hands, leaving death and madness in its wake.
As the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, Wilbur is drawn into a decades-old battle against a force that feeds on greed, fear, and human desire. With the help of a gifted psychic and a powerful witch, he must uncover the truth about his family's dark past before the book claims him as its next keeper.
But some books don't want to be read...
They want to be obeyed.
