Overview
FromĀ New York TimesĀ bestselling author Melanie Dickerson comes a fresh reimagining of the classicĀ Pied PiperĀ tale.
A plague of rats. Children going missing. A giant beast attacking just outside the walls of Hamlin. And one young woman determined to save her town.
Katerinaās stepfather, Hennek, is neither a good father nor a good husband, but he is the mayor of Hamlin. Could he somehow be causing the misfortunes that have befallen her beloved town? The evidence points to a beast of unusual sizeāa wolf, perhaps, or a large dogākilling people who venture too far from town. But does that explain the disappearance of so many children, many of whom seem to have gone missing fromĀ insideĀ the town walls?
Steffan knows he must reconcile with his father, the Duke of Hagenheim, but heās not sure heās ready. In the meantime, he roams from town to town seeking adventure and reward. When he hears of a giant beast terrorizing the town of Hamlin and an equally giant reward that includes gold, money, and the mayorās daughter in marriage, he heads to Hamlin. Steffan plans to kill the beast, rid the town of its rat infestation, and take the rewardāeverything except the girl in marriage. However, when he meets Katerina, heās not so sure. Perhaps his plans need changing.
Katerina is hunting the Beast of Hamlin for herself, determined to win liberation from her conniving and controlling stepfather. When she finds one of the children who has been missing for many months, dirty and wandering around the woods, the mystery only seems to deepen. Katerina will have to team up with Steffan, the handsome but brash dukeās son who infuriates herāheās the only one in town who isnāt controlled by the mayor. Danger dogs them from both man and beast. Can Katerina and Steffan stop the āPied Piperā from stealing every last child from Hamlin? Or will their interference create an even worse fate?
