Mightier than the Sword

A centuries old pen with a past shrouded in mystery, an old woman who is far more than she appears, a palace guard sent on a quest to make himself worthy of knighthood, a merciless bounty hunter living in the present who will do anything to get his hands on the powerful pen, and a young man in modern times who is connected to them all in ways he never could have begun to imagine-these are the elements of Mightier than the Sword, the story of young American businessman Derek Farfield. On a fateful trip to India, Derek first meets the strange old woman who will enter his life again in ways completely unforeseen. It is from her that Derek buys the pen that will create the turning point in his life. Along the way, he will discover love, betrayal, the power of the written word, and, perhaps most importantly, delve into the secrets of his soul. This is a tale of sorcery and deception, passion and fate, obsession and the past, but it is also the tale of one man's life and a magic pen that will ultimately create or destroy his destiny.
