When the Pied Piper came, only three children remained. One was deaf and one was blind. Being deaf meant life was hard for Adelaide in thirteenth century Germany. However, it also saved her from the Pied Piper's music. When the children were stolen, she was left behind. Now she and her blind friend must risk everything to free the children trapped in an eternal dance. But to rescue them she must face the Heartless Queen, who will do anything to keep them, and survive her twisted games. Adelaide finds she has no choice but to trust the man she should hate and hope he is not playing games of his own. If she fails, the children will be lost forever.

One curse breaks, another begins… The woman he loves may now be Crown Princess, but Peter's life is far from easy. The country is broken and many children are still missing. Not to mention that he still has to live with Queen Oda, who is far from sane. Peter must rescue the children that he stole, but their captives will not let them go without a fight. Desperate for redemption, he takes riskier missions in order to correct the wrongs of his past and feel worthy of Adelaide’s love. However soon he is in real danger when he stumbles on a forgotten mythological power, and a curse makes him change places with a bear. He must learn how to break the curse while freeing the children or leave Avia broken and threatened by war. Meanwhile Adelaide must choose between fighting to heal her country and saving the man she loves.
