Synopsis

After New York attorney Will Ross gains acquittal for a child abuser and the child is subsequently killed, he resolves to abandon law and become a children's entertainer. Will's change of heart and career is a catalyst for his lover, Clara, who quits her prestigious job to pursue documentary film-making. While the couple are united in their fervor for their nascent careers in art, unexpected challenges rip them apart. Feeling abandoned, Will ventures into his new passion, donning clown shoes, picking up his old guitar, and taking on a special guitar student. Only when the boy's life is threatened does Will take up law again, fighting not only to protect the child, but to clear his guilt and free himself to love.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the digital age, some legends find new ways to hunt. 
    When children begin disappearing from New Hamelin—a modern German town built over the ruins of the medieval village from the infamous legend—investigative journalist Elara Blackwood discovers that the past never truly dies. It just evolves. 
    What starts as a missing persons case becomes a journey into supernatural horror when Elara uncovers the truth: the Pied Piper was never just a man with a flute. He was something far older and more terrifying—an entity bound by cosmic contracts that span centuries, and he's learned to hunt through fiber optic cables and smartphone screens. 
    As electromagnetic anomalies plague the town and children worldwide begin humming melodies that emerge from their devices, Elara's investigation leads her through Vatican secret archives, ancient supernatural contracts written in blood, and a confrontation with an impossible witness—someone who survived the original 1284 incident and has been waiting seven hundred years for the Piper's return. 
    The technology meant to connect and protect us has become the perfect hunting ground for something that views human innocence as currency in cosmic transactions. Every smart device, every network connection, every digital heartbeat of modern civilization has been transformed into an instrument of otherworldly influence. 
    Now Elara must navigate supernatural jurisprudence, interdimensional law, and the ultimate question: what price is she willing to pay to save humanity's children? Because the Piper's curse isn't just about the damned—it's about who gets to decide what damnation means. 
    A chilling blend of ancient horror and modern terror that will make you question every device you touch and every melody you hear. 
    For readers who love Neil Gaiman's dark mythology, Paul Tremblay's technological horror, and the atmospheric dread of stories where our greatest innovations become our deadliest vulnerabilities.

    Him: Six foot, four inches. Thor look-alike. Kickass black belt ninja man, and gym owner. 
    Me: Barely five foot. Resembles an overstuffed dumpling. Semi-decent receptionist of the office across the road. 
    Match made in heaven? I think so. Which is why I get to work early each morning, and stare longingly out the window, desperate for my daily glimpse of him. 
    The man doesn’t know I’m alive, and I don’t have the lady balls to do anything about it. Until the postman delivers the gym’s mail to my office. It’s the perfect excuse to strut over there and introduce myself, right? 
    Wrong. 
    When he mistakes me for someone else, I’m so blinded by his abs that I don’t correct him. And now he’s calling me someone else’s name, and I don’t know how to turn this around apart from to bolt back to my desk with my ass jiggling behind me. 
    I never expected he’d follow me. 
    Or anything that happened next.
