Description:

When Zack Stirling buys a cottage in the countryside, he hopes to start a new life away from a tragic past. But he soon learns that the house is not only haunted, but that he is some how linked to the mysterious 'cunning man' Thornton Ravencroft, who was rumoured to be a warlock, and who vanished under strange circumstances more than a century before. As his dreams are dogged by nightmares of witchcraft, torture and the Devil himself, he comes to the conclusion that he is witnessing his own past life - and starts to wonder if the only way to end the nightmare is to solve the mystery of the warlock's disappearance - and soon he realises that it is not just his own sanity and life that may be at stake, when he learns his new best friend Kyle is the last of the Brackenby family - a family which suffers a deadly curse said to have been laid down by Thornton with his dying breath. But as his fascination with the occult increases, along with his obsessive urge to find the murdered warlock's bones, will Zack be able to lay a dark past to rest, or will the lure of dark magic draw him in so deep that in the end, he will have no choice but to embrace all he once was in his former life? **
