From a letter describing its discovery:

I found the book in the grasp of a strange sea monster. It was a large octopus-like creature, but with many more arms than usual, and standing on them as tall as a man. It had come ashore near the old section of Poryatown's wall, where the road passes near the shore. It had hidden itself in one of the large crevices in the wall's rock foundations, and was capturing people as they passed by, and drawing them into the crevice. Some peasants noticed it trying to sneak its long tentacles up on them and fought it off before it could capture them. They came running down the road and asked for my help quite desperately. I could only agree, as it's what I do.

I did what I could and after a tiring fight with lots of close calls I slayed the monster. The poisonous sting in its tentacles completely numbed one of my arms. I've only started to regain some movement now, but I hope it'll clear up soon.

The book is the only item it was holding, quite tightly however. And... I think it had been reading from the book, as strange as that sounds. It must be a magic book, for it to whistand being taken into the sea, as it surely was. It has a faint blue-green glow, that can best be seen in the dark... The monster had the exact same glow, but it faded after dying. I've never encountered anything like it.

The runes of the book are of a kind I have not seen before. Perhaps they will make sense to you, but to my uneducated eyes they do not, my lady, and look very strange.
