At the heart of the story is David, a timid year seven student whose world is forever changed when he befriends Miss Rachel Harvey, a new Media and English teacher with a keen interest in the occult. Together with Miss Miller, the History teacher, and Mr. Ackley, the Head of Year 7, they form an alliance to investigate the strange occurrences that have plagued their school for years.
Their journey begins in the school library, where they encounter Cara, a mysterious year 10 prefect engrossed in an ancient tome penned by one Agatha Plume—a name that sends shivers down their spines. Little do they know, their investigations will lead them to uncover the dark history of Priestman School and the secrets buried within its walls.
As they delve deeper into the mysteries of Priestman, they encounter Lucy, a spectral being who exists between the realms of the living and the dead. Half-alive and half-spirit, Lucy shares her tragic tale of loss and betrayal at the hands of her evil uncle Edgar, presumed long dead, but whose malevolent presence now looms over the school as the assistant head, known as Mr. Fingers by the students due to his extra-long skeletal hands.
With each revelation, the bonds between David, Miss Harvey, and their newfound companions grow stronger as they uncover the truth behind the whispers, the moving objects, and the strange noises that haunt the school's halls. Together, they confront the dark legacy of Priestman Manor and begin to understand its place as the hub of the many and varied interdimensional spaces known as ‘realms’ as they untangle a history of death and despair that threatens to consume them all.
But amidst the horrors of the past, they find hope in the form of Mrs. Jowett, the Head of Priestman School, who reveals herself to be the Angel Seraphel, a guardian tasked with protecting the realms from the forces of darkness. And with her guidance and that of other guardians, they prepare for a celestial war unlike any other. But only the battle was triumphed at the loss of David – Is he gone from us forever?
