Laure Kelley thought summoning a pen spirit was a dorm prank that would answer exam questions. When the pen answers — and then refuses one forbidden request — she and her roommates accidentally bind a witty, all-knowing ghost who calls himself the Pen Spirit. He tutors, scolds, and aids them through college life...until a beloved senior is murdered and the pen vanishes. Haunted by dreams, guilt, and a half-remembered hero, Laure discovers the Pen Spirit was a real student who died saving someone. Determined to bring the truth out of the shadows, Laure drags a living investigation into a world governed by underworld laws: spirits that interfere pay a terrible price. As evidence surfaces, threats escalate, and a brave ghost pays the ultimate cost, Laure must trade fear for courage to finish what he started — or let the murderer walk free. A campus mystery that mixes supernatural bargains, courtroom exposure, and a bittersweet promise of redemption.
