Piper Prince

2019

Can you hear him? The beast is coming for you. Long ago, a curse fell upon the land—a curse of forgetting and wraiths, a curse that ensured no daughters were born to the pied pipers in over three centuries. The pipers were all that stood between humanity and utter destruction, so they did the only thing they could: they stole the daughters of the nearby kingdom with their hypnotizing melodies. With the sons born from those unions, they continued to defend against the wraiths and fight the curse, even though they were slowly losing. Larkin was one of those daughters. Stolen by Denan and married against her will, she found herself falling in love with the very man who had taken everything from her, the man who had made her a princess. Together, they discovered that she was the first woman in three centuries to possess the magic of the pipers, and therefore, the only person capable of breaking the ancient curse. But breaking the curse means unraveling the very past the curse is intent on keeping secret. The answer lies buried in the crypts of the Black Druids, men who consider Larkin a traitor they’ll kill on sight. Embedded in the intrigues of their court, she unearths a dark conspiracy destined to hasten the destructive power of the curse—a conspiracy aimed at destroying her piper prince.

The magic that protects mankind from the wraith. The same magic Larkin has used to keep the curse from destroying the man she loves. Because once that curse reaches Denan's eyes, he will be worse than dead. But there is one hope left. There is a darkness growing inside Larkin. And with that darkness comes power. Perhaps even enough power to defeat the wraith. But in embracing that darkness, she risks becoming the very thing that hunts her. It’s an impossible and deadly trade. But it may be the only option Larkin has left. Can Larkin save Denan, defeat the wraiths, and solve the curse that has plagued their kingdoms for centuries? Or will she fall prey to the darkness that hungers for her? You don't want to miss the conclusion to the Forbidden Forest Series. Read the Beauty and the Beast retelling that has captured hearts the world over.
