Book Description
A magical retelling of the Pied Piper with a dark faerie twist, from USA Today bestselling author Anthea Sharp. The music comes drifting every black of the moon, winding like smoke through the dank alleyways of Hamelin’s old town. Come, it whispers, the haunting melody compelling the vermin of the streets. Come away. They do: the skittering roaches, the fluttering moths whose grubs ruin stored grain, the rats who infest the slums. And the children. Only one girl has the courage to break the spell, but freedom has its own price...
