About this ebook

In the digital age, some legends find new ways to hunt.

When children begin disappearing from New Hamelin—a modern German town built over the ruins of the medieval village from the infamous legend—investigative journalist Elara Blackwood discovers that the past never truly dies. It just evolves.

What starts as a missing persons case becomes a journey into supernatural horror when Elara uncovers the truth: the Pied Piper was never just a man with a flute. He was something far older and more terrifying—an entity bound by cosmic contracts that span centuries, and he's learned to hunt through fiber optic cables and smartphone screens.

As electromagnetic anomalies plague the town and children worldwide begin humming melodies that emerge from their devices, Elara's investigation leads her through Vatican secret archives, ancient supernatural contracts written in blood, and a confrontation with an impossible witness—someone who survived the original 1284 incident and has been waiting seven hundred years for the Piper's return.

The technology meant to connect and protect us has become the perfect hunting ground for something that views human innocence as currency in cosmic transactions. Every smart device, every network connection, every digital heartbeat of modern civilization has been transformed into an instrument of otherworldly influence.

Now Elara must navigate supernatural jurisprudence, interdimensional law, and the ultimate question: what price is she willing to pay to save humanity's children? Because the Piper's curse isn't just about the damned—it's about who gets to decide what damnation means.

A chilling blend of ancient horror and modern terror that will make you question every device you touch and every melody you hear.
