A desperate mother… The town council traded my son to monsters as payment for a debt. All I want is to take him back from the Pied Piper, but the king of the pipers never forgives a debt. To remain with my child, I’ll have to play concubine to the cruel, beautiful prince. The longer I’m with him, the harder it is to see the line between fact and fiction as closely-held beliefs begin to crumble. Are the pipers the demons I was taught to fear? Or do the prince’s actions hold a greater evil at bay? A prince of demons… Nothing but music stands between the pipers and utter destruction. As heir to the Pied Piper’s throne, I have to be strong and ruthless to protect my people. But when a human woman arrives at my father’s court, making impossible demands, my rash decision to make her my mistress threatens everything I’ve been working for. The longer she’s near, the more my mask of indifference crumbles. With danger on every side, can I keep my kingdom safe and still open my heart to love?
