The story:
Solomon Durnley, a young scalawag and sailor, tries to parlay an artifact of cosmic power into a chance at winning back his true love and undoing all the damage his clumsy efforts caused her family down through the generations.
When he’s down to his last chance—a skeptical young New York single mom—Solomon’s plans to regain his sweetheart are complicated by Alvin, a bumbling stalker who uses guile and aggravated assault to learn Solomon’s secret of longevity.
On the brink of failure, with any hope of success fading beyond his reach, Solomon learns at last what Griffin really wants, what true love really looks like, and how he can undo the perpetual hex he’s become. Out of it all, maybe, just maybe, he’ll find his way back to where he belongs.
