We all know the tale of the Pied Piper. But we don't know what happened after the children were lured away.

This story provides the answer.

Klaudia is a cripple, the only child left behind in Hamelin. She should be so happy. Instead, she's suffering. Hamelin's people shun and abuse her. To them, she is a living curse, a painful reminder of their loss.To escape her miserable life, she accepts a marriage proposal from the mysterious Lord Himmel.

Unwittingly, she is drawn into the mystery of the plague ravaging the land—the plague of the Pied Piper who robs towns of their magic and children, leaving nothing but devastation behind. Once in Lord Himmel's castle, Klaudia learns that there's no escaping from the tangled web of lies. She will have to fight her way through the maze—but it may cost her the freedom she so badly wants in the first place.
