Who is Tyler Hawthorne? Beneath the Caribbean Sea, a salvage diver hears an eerie
voice calling to him from the wreckage of a
nineteenth-century ship. In return for promised riches, the
diver becomes the servant of Adrian deVille, Lord Varre, the
creature who has called to him. It's a bargain the diver
will come to regret. Varre enlists him in a hunt for a man
named Tyler Hawthorne. Ten years later, in a canyon
in the foothills above Los Angeles, Amanda Clarke has become
curious about her new neighbor, Tyler Hawthorne. He's not
home much, but others tell her that her new neighbor is
about her age -- twenty-four. He's also wealthy, handsome,
and single. Amanda soon suspects that another
description can be added to the list of Tyler's attributes:
con artist. When Tyler shows up at the hospice room of her
friend Ron and tells the dying man he'll live, Amanda
angrily resents Tyler for giving Ron false hope.
Until Ron begins to recover. Although Tyler
continues to puzzle her, Amanda finds herself drawn to him.
Tyler finds himself drawn to Amanda as well, but he
has a secret he must keep from her: he's been twenty-four
for almost two hundred years. Two centuries ago, he
bargained for his life. In exchange, he became a Messenger,
one who hears the final thoughts of the dying and conveys
those last messages to their loved ones. Since that time,
his life has been nomadic and -- except for the
companionship of a remarkable black dog -- solitary.
The dying also convey messages to Tyler and now they are
hinting that his long service may be coming to an end. He
begins to hope that he can return to a normal, mortal life
and allows himself to grow closer to Amanda, unaware that he
is being pursued by an old enemy who will stop at nothing to
destroy him and that he can only leave his role as the
Messenger behind at a dreadful cost.
