Bio
Brooke Stevens is a bookish, sheltered young woman from rural Iowa originally, where her only friend was her golden retriever named Byron. Her main passion was reading: sci-fi, poetry, and literature, especially the Romance poets, and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. With her intellectual tastes, she didn't fit in at all at home, and was delighted to get a scholarship to the University of Chicago, where she was soon dating a young associate professor, Dr. Robert Carlisle.
The antiquities dealer Gabriel Frost contacted Dr. Carlisle to help him translate the book. Unbeknownst to Carlisle, he also contact several prospective buyers.
Frost hosted a meeting of the interested parties at his gallery. It was tense from the onset; Carlisle was upset that Frost wanted to sell the book. Frost's girlfriend Devon took an immediate dislike to one of the buyers and threw him out. Frost and Carlisle were soon arguing about the translation, and the collectors started arguing about the value of the book.
In the midst of the discord, one of the buyers (Maya Devereux, an evil cultist), tried to simply take the book. She began firing magical rays, killing two of the other buyers. She attacked Frost, but he grabbed the Book and used it to block the ray. This opened a portal to the Shadow Plane, through which he and the others were able to escape.
They remained on the Shadow Plane for several days, until Frost gleaned enough from studying the Book to return them to Earth, where only minutes had passed. Using his new-found knowledge, Gabriel was able to summon a shadow creature and defeat Devereux, though the gallery burned down during the battle. Repeated exposure to magical energies has affected all the survivors, albeit in different ways.
Brooke was affected more than all the others save perhaps Jo Marx.
