The story revolves around Peter Baron, a struggling writer, who is on the brink of achieving literary recognition when he encounters a mysterious set of letters related to the now-extinct figure of Sir Dominick Ferrand.

At the start of the novel, Peter Baron is introduced as a fledgling writer whose work has just been accepted with some reservations by an editor named Mr. Locket. As he prepares for his meeting with Locket, he also encounters Mrs. Ryves, a musical lodger whose presence piques his interest. Their interaction hints at a budding connection, further complicated by the discovery of an intricately designed writing desk containing mysterious, sealed documents. While Baron grapples with the pressures of his aspiring literary career and the ethical quandaries posed by his discovery, the dynamic between him and Mrs. Ryves intensifies, establishing a backdrop of personal and professional tension that propels the narrative forward.
