Grimoire Ink Novels & Stories

To the sealed stone door no one else knows about. My hand presses to the sigil. It burns. Lyra’s voice is soft behind me. “What is that?” “Something I swore never to use,” I say. The door grinds open. Inside, wrapped in chains and wards and old blood ink, sits a book. Thick. Breathing. Angry. A grimoire Lyra steps closer, eyes wide. “Whose is it?” I close my fingers around the chains. “That is not a name you need.”

“If he gets caught in the fallout… oh well.” They leaned closer to the circle, shadows pooling around them like dark water. Elara whispered an incantation, her voice low, musical, dangerous: “Korrvak nesh taloum… grahnak velmuirch. Os’hallonn. Drevuuk.” The shadow ink twitched, smoke curling against the salt, forming itself slowly into a shape—impossibly detailed, unnervingly alive. Then it solidified, hollow-eyed and grinning: a raven’s skull, the bones black as obsidian, the eye sockets gleaming with unseen fire.

Every moment they'd shared, every word they'd spoken, every touch that had passed between them, all of it would have to go. I reached for a vial of ink made from ash of burnt love letters. The liquid was black as midnight and warm to the touch, as if it held the heat of all the passion it had once recorded. When I dipped my quill into it, the ink seemed to writhe like a living thing. The first symbol I drew on the parchment began to smoke immediately. The paper hissed as if in pain, tiny flames licking at the edges of each line. This was old magic, dangerous magic, the kind that demanded a sacrifice for every word.

MEMPHIS’ POV The candles in my study had burned down to stub. My eyes stung from days without sleep, but I could not stop. Not now. The floor was covered with grimoires, demonic scrolls, and pages so ancient their ink bled when I touched them. Blood stained my hands and they dried into the lines of my skin. There were ritual knives on the desk in front of me. My chest and arms burned from fresh carvings. I had carved runes into my own flesh.

“A long time ago. Once, Merrick wanted me to try and search for the family grimoire.” Nora tilted her head to the side. “Grimoire? What does that mean?” “It’s a family book of spells. Most witches usually are exposed to it their whole lives, so they don’t ever have to draw energy from it. But you were kept away from both your home and the grimoire. You don’t have that generational energy flowing through you. If you find the grimoire, it should give you like a power charge once it recognizes that you are part of the family. You should be able to keep yourself safe.”

She ran her fingers along the spines, the gold lettering cool against her skin. Drawn in by the sheer volume, she hesitantly pulled a book from the shelf, a slim volume bound in dark blue leather. The title was etched in silver: The Royal Grimoire of Sacred Oaths. She opened it, her eyes skimming the ornate calligraphy, the intricate diagrams filled with arcane symbols.

As Sarah opened the large, double-door freezer, a gust of cold air brushed against her skin. Her eyes widened at the sight before her, neatly arranged rows of premium ingredients, each wrapped in pristine packaging. There were fresh salmon fillets, marbled Wagyu beef, imported truffles, an assortment of cheeses, and even delicate cuts of foie gras. Luxurious seafood like lobster tails and Alaskan king crab rested on trays of ice, while neatly labeled containers of exotic spices and condiments lined the shelves.

I close the old book and read the inscriptions on the grimoire dark green cover. 'BLOOD IS KEY.' They weren't just inscriptions. They were instructions. Immediately I understood what I needed to do. I pricked my thumb with my ear ring and poured droplets of my blood on the blank pages and I was shocked by what happened next. The previously blank pages were no longer empty. Suddenly writings in crimson blood formed filling up all the pages. Dixie was right, they weren't hidden, just waiting for me to discover.

Barely perceptible in the morning light. "The old ink formula is iron salts and oak gall. When it dries, it leaves a brownish residue under the fingernails. It cannot be washed away. Marcus wrote the Code with this ink for two hundred years. His fingers are forever stained brown." He raised his eyes. His silver-grey pupils held a faint, pale glimmer. "That is your next lesson. His habits. His flaws. Every detail may one day become your blade." Cain said nothing. His hand moved from his sword hilt. He reached over and took the cold coffee from Luna's hand.
