A young man or woman discovers a tome of dark lore in a medieval fantasy setting, and proceeds to use it to reanimate corpses. For obvious reasons, some people take exception to that.
The book is bound in pale leather, stretched over a wooden frame. It contains Eldritch lore, a path of power. It was hidden in the old cellar of a farmhouse for the gods only know how long; it feels like it shouldn’t be on your kitchen table. Magic is forbidden to the peasantry, and this magic likely more than any other. If you used this magic in public, there would be dire consequences. So… what do you do with the book?
