Fics like The Red Book

The job was a book - a family heirloom, he gathered, passed down from Loric's father. Jacobine had been able to provide a careful description of it: less than an inch thick, about nine inches tall, bound in red leather, no title on the exterior but the family crest on the spine in gold, full of handwritten notes. Apparently it had belonged to some long-dead great-aunt who had been a professor at the Castalia. Jacobine herself was a professor at the Castalia, and felt that she was more entitled to the book and its contents than her heretic cult leader of an older brother. Dez's father worked with her, but he himself had never actually spoken with her, and had no idea what the book was supposed to contain, since she allegedly didn't know herself. Dez didn't buy that for a minute - no one hired professionals to break into their sibling's house for a book they didn't know would be valuable, or at least useful. It probably had some magical crap in it, if he had to guess, with an outside chance of 'map to family treasure'.
