And one young woman determined to save her people.In 1424 Hamlin, Katerina faces threats from all sides.

Katerina is determined to hunt and kill the Beast of Hamlin herself before more lives are lost.When Steffan, the handsome but brash duke’s son, comes to town seeking glory and reward, Katerina decides he might be the ally she’s been looking for–even though the only gentle thing about him seems to be the sweet music he plays on his pipe. But there’s more to Steffan than she suspects, and she finds herself drawn to him despite her misgivings.Together Katerina and Steffan must stop the enemy from stealing the children of Hamlin. But their interference might create an even worse fate for the entire village.Praise for The Piper’s Pursuit”The Piper’s Pursuit is a lovely tale of adventure, romance, and redemption.
