The Object
A thief's keepsake: a thin booklet bound with coarse thread, and badly bound at that.
The cover is tanned sheepskin with not a word on it. Inside, the pages have yellowed and gone brittle, their edges scorched and stained, yet no insect has touched them, as if the paper were treated with some herb that keeps worms off.
On the first page, five large characters give the title: "Seizing Hand".
