Book Description
An addictive fantasy romance from TikTok sensation Piper CJ, now newly revised and edited. Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.

Kelly O'Neill, a lovely, young, and accomplished flautist, overcomes her blindness, determined to live life to the fullest and obtain her heart's desire: playing with the New York Philharmonic. She gets by with the help of her close friend and fellow musician, Marta, her loyal canine companion Beau, and Curtis, her favorite 12 year-old crippled music student. All she wants now is that special someone in her life, but she learned very early that having a handicap can make romance elusive. For the first in a series of events celebrating ancient music from around the world, Professor Erik Grossman travels to the U.S. from Germany with his country's newest archeological treasure, a flute as old as it is unique, which he will play during the event. Marta is determined to see Kelly make a romantic connection with the handsome and worldly professor, but catastrophe strikes during Erik's performance. The ancient flute is stolen that night, and new york detectives investigate the theft while impossibly horrific events lead the professor to entertain an unimagined possibility. Professor Grossman's theories are met with disbelief by the detectives, but Kelly remains understanding and supportive though her mind reels from the frightening tale it tells her. In an unfortunate turn of events involving her student, Kelly is forced to become more involved than the professor would wish, and soon they all will come to know exactly what it means to pay The Piper.

Book Description
H. Beam Piper is one of science fiction’s most enigmatic writers. In 1946 Piper appeared seemingly from out of nowhere, already at the top of his form. He published a number of memorable short stories in the premier science fiction magazine of the time, Astounding Science Fiction, under legendary editor John W. Campbell. Piper quickly became friends with many of the top writers of the day, including Lester Del Rey, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Heinlein and L. Sprague de Camp. Piper also successfully made the turn from promising short story writer to major novelist, authoring Four-Day Planet, Cosmic Computer, Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and Little Fuzzy, which was nominated for a Hugo award. Even those who counted Piper among their friends knew very little about the man or his life as a railroad yard bull in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This biography illuminates H. Beam Piper, both the writer and the man, and answers lingering questions about his death. Appendices include a number of Piper’s personal papers, a complete bibliography of Piper’s works, and an essay on Piper’s Terro-Human Future History series.
