Môže rukopis navždy zmeniť náš život? Úspešná newyorská editorka Jen Gibbsová je na vrchole kariéry a užíva si nové miesto vo vydavateľstve Vida House, až kým sa jej na stole neobjaví záhadný rukopis. Jeho príbeh, odohrávajúci sa v Apalačských vrchoch na prelome storočí, ju vtiahne do sveta miešanky Sarry, ktorú má v moci skupinka nebezpečných mužov. Jen sa rozhodne vypátrať neznámeho autora diela, ale keď ju stopy zavedú do srdca Modrých vrchov, na miesto, ktoré by najradšej vymazala zo svojej pamäti, uvedomí si, že cena za ďalší knižný trhák bude možno vyššia, ako je ochotná zaplatiť.
