Every book you've ever read... Every story you've ever heard... What if they were all true? When best-selling novelist Arthur O'Neill is found murdered, high school student Will Morgan assumes his premonition of the event was mere coincidence. But when, Will meets a character from one of Arthur's famous books, he learns there's more to this man's writing than just words. By way of a powerful warrior named Tam, Will is introduced to the World of the Written, a universe parallel to our own where every story ever published by humans comes to life. On the surface, the World of the Written is a realm of fantasy beyond Will's wildest dreams: one of magic, knights, wizards, and high adventure. However, as Will explores more of this newfound land, he realizes Arthur's death may have just been the start of something even fiction's greatest heroes aren't prepared to face.
