Publisher's Summary

A fairy-tale journey of intrigue and romance that reimagines the classic Pied Piper story.

A plague of rats. A giant beast outside the village walls. A host of missing children. And one young woman determined to save her people.

In 1424 Hamlin, Katerina faces threats from all sides. An outbreak of rats has overtaken the village, a mysterious beast is on a killing rampage of the village’s children, and Katerina’s evil stepfather is a dark presence inside the walls of her own home. 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. Kat and Steffan’s righteous quest will have you rooting them on until the very satisfying end!” (Lorie Langdon, author of Olivia Twist and the Doon series)

Disappointing Installment of the Hagenheim Series

Movies and books tend to be the same when it comes to sequels. You either have a great one or its a flat, shallow, hurried story with a weak plot and no genius. I have read others of Dickerson's novels and enjoyed them but this one was cringe all the way through. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, the story was predictable from the beginning and the character development went nowhere.
I guess the narrator was better than others I have heard. But she put no life into the characters. The voices and tone were laughable at best.

Overall definitely not Dickerson's best work, but hopefully this is just one bad in an otherwise decent series.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
