When another doctor, Reynard, asks him to help with a delusional female patient, Gabe is reluctant - until he meets her. At first Gabe thinks the woman, Angelina, is merely terrified of Reynard, but he quickly discovers she is not quite what she seems. When Angelina tells Gabe he must kill her and flee to a place she calls Morgravia, he is horrified. But then Angelina shows him that the cathedral he has dreamt about since childhood is real and exists in Morgravia. Soon, Gabe's world will be turned upside down, and he will learn shocking truths about who he is . . . and who he can - or cannot - trust. The Scrivener's Tale is an action-packed fantasy adventure filled with twists that will keep you guessing until the last page.
