Synopsis
On a fateful trip to India, Derek Farfield becomes lost and is forced to pay for directions from an old merchant woman who insists he choose a pen from her stall. Subsequently, a freak storm blackens the skies and clears the outdoor marketplace, leaving Derek standing alone in the muddy street clutching a black pen with a shining brass top. Several days later, Derek arrives home in New York, and it is not long before something strange begins to occur. Although he is a bachelor and lives alone, a mysterious handwritten manuscript starts to appear at random intervals and in installments. Curious, Derek gives into temptation and soon discovers that he feels an inexplicable connection to the story, partially fueled by the seemingly impossible similarities between it and his own life. But there are others who would desire the powerful pen. Price Redmond, a vicious bounty hunter, is intent on collecting the reward offered by a very prominent politician in exchange for the pen, and he will do anything to get it. Even as Derek enters into a turbulent romance and fends for his life from the malignant Price, he becomes entranced by the manuscript, which relates the tale of Gavin, a young palace guard in medieval times who stumbles across a mysterious old woman and is entrusted with a quill. The two interlocking stories are separated by time and space, but nothing can cloak the bonds that have been forged between souls—bonds that have resurfaced in the present day and will now either be shattered forever or made stronger. And all because of a pen.
