The Book Of Forbidden Knowledge - Paperback

by Miles Prunier (Author)

Teenage siblings David and Jen are forced to spend the summer with their elderly aunts in the small town of Aylesbury, Massachusetts, when their father is sent away on business. But their quiet stay ends when David has a mysterious vision in the attic. Looking for answers, they turn to a Ouija board, which leads to the uncovering of a murder and the answer to a decades-old disappearance. They befriend Helen, a studious girl who works in the library, and there they discover De Disciplina Nefasta, The Book of Forbidden Knowledge, an ancient text of spells. With this book, they unintentionally awaken the spirit of a long-dead ancestor, whose spirit has been trapped in a tree for decades, and whose selfish needs threaten to snuff out their lives.

Author Biography

Miles Prunier grew up in New England and his parents would sometimes bring him to visit older relatives living in dusty old houses in odd, out-of-the-way little towns. As he listened to them tell family stories about mysterious disappearances and other unexplained occurrences, he came to suspect that if he looked or listened just a little harder, he'd discover magical secrets hidden somewhere in the attic or disguised in those old family tales. In The Book of Forbidden Knowledge, Jen and David uncover just the kind of secrets he'd always wanted to find. Miles Prunier currently resides in the small town of Putnam, Connecticut, a stone's throw from the town cemetery.
