Hey, Street Team!
The Piper's Wake has released!
This is a standalone fantasy crossover between two of my favorite folk tales, The Pied Piper and Little Red Riding Hood. It was a blast to write (I've loved both of those stories since I can remember, and spending some time burying myself in more old-school fantasy was a refreshing change of pace).
The Piper's Wake is available both as an ebook and paperback, so if a spark of Grimm-style magic is up your alley, check it out!
All magic comes with a price.
The small city of Boneswell has always been steeped in tradition, and Carmen Himmel is no exception. She is the latest in a long line of women who have specialized in hunting witches, wearing a fabled red cloak imbued with the ability to resist magic. Up until now, Carmen has dedicated her life to the routines binding her to Boneswell and the isolated life of a huntress.
Penance the Piper comes to town bearing irresistible charm, and eventually promises to kill off the current plague of rats for a price. Only Carmen can see the truth behind Penance’s painted smile and enchanted music: that he is a sorcerer and that his magic is slowly corrupting the town from within.
When Penance takes an interest in Carmen, she finds herself thrust into the spotlight in unexpected ways and forced to make a decision that could change her world forever.
The Piper’s Wake is a crossover between “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Pied Piper,” two classic tales bound by a magical twist and an unforeseeable outcome.
