As a child, Gavan once pulled a string through a toy with no damage to either item. Despite being under psychiatric care, Gavan has been certain since then that he has latent magickal abilities trapped within him. Running his magick shop, Dinas Affaraon, has afforded him contact with real magick and the artefacts connected to it. While the New Age products keep the store in business, he frequently takes commissions to search out artefacts of true magick. One day an appointment appears that neither he nor his employee Summer entered into the schedule. When the mysterious woman arrives and refuses to give her name or the name of her employer, Gavan is intrigued but hesitant. He has refused clients before when the magickal item is too "dark," and this woman has provided little information.
What she asks for is a thing of legend, considered allegory more than object, but the sum she offers is more than enough to send Gavan searching. Doubts rise in his mind as to the wisdom of giving such a powerful object to an unknown group with extensive power and uncertain intentions. Gavan's moral dilemma takes turns he never expected when he begins the search. He had no way of knowing that this path was always meant for him, and the artefact may have far more to offer him than money.
