Arthur Oakes, a bookworm and dreamer, attends Rackham College in Maine, renowned for its excellent library and elegant campus buildings. But this idyll—and the budding romance—is shattered when criminals force Arthur to commit one of the most heinous crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the university library.
Faced with despair, the young man turns to his closest, misfit friends for support and aid. Together, they devise a wild, fantastical plan. The wealthy and indomitable Colin Wren proposes using a magical ritual from Crane's ominous journal (bound with the skin of its author) to summon and subjugate a powerful otherworldly being—a dragon named the King of Sorrows. The others—the brave and beautiful Ellie Shiner, the feuding twins Donna and Donovan McBride, and the clever and determined Gwen Plebs—unhesitatingly join Colin in his attempt to destroy reality itself and bring such an unlikely ally into our world.
But dealing with the dragon proves far from simple, and their agreement to save Arthur turns into a Faustian bargain, in which the six friends must choose a new victim for the monster every year or be destroyed by it.
