Everyone knows the legend of Excalibur. But the true weapon of power isn't a sword—it's a pen.
When brilliant and unapologetic feminist author Francesca Fawn finishes the controversial sequel to her debut novel, she has no idea her words are written in something far more dangerous than ink. In a back alley on the way to meet her editor, she's confronted by a ghost from her past—her long-lost mother, who demands the return of a pen that can rewrite reality itself.
What begins as a fight over a manuscript becomes a battle for the very fabric of the world, as Francesca must decide who controls the story—her, her family… or something far worse lurking in the shadows.
Darkly witty, sharp as steel, and wildly imaginative, The Pen and the Price explores the cost of creation, the legacy of power, and what happens when the storyteller becomes the story.
