Knowledge is power, but too much is dangerous. The dark heart of an occult secret society beats in the bowels of Oxford’s prestigious university and someone, or something, is searching for an ancient text which can open the most terrible of doors. Seventeen year old Lizzie Dean is only just beginning to reassemble the shattered pieces of her life; and being in her last year of school it is more important than ever to get it together. But the discovery of the mutilated body of her brilliant, if rather odd, friend threatens to unravel it all once more. The subsequent police investigation is not going well. Without any apparent motive or forensic evidence the case is going very cold, and Lizzie must take matters into her own hands. Lizzie’s investigations will uncover shadowy secrets of the world around her, those close to her and even herself.
