The Piper's tune comes with a cost . . .

Carina is a widow whose only focus is raising her young son. The last thing she needs is adventure. But when a mysterious bard comes to town, that is exactly what finds her. Because while he seems to hold the entire town in a spell, the Piper's focus is entirely on her.

Just because adventure is the last thing Carina needs doesn't mean it's not what she longs for. And whether it wants her or not, it is coming for her. Because where the Piper goes, danger follows . . .

Playing the Piper is a spooky sweet short story retelling of The Pied Piper of Hamelin set in the world of Constantinium featuring healing hearts, just kisses, and a very strange plague.
