The town of Hamlin is plagued and overrun by rats. A giant beast is
roaming the city walls. And over several dozen children have gone
missing presumably eaten by the beast. Katerina is determined to help
her people. However, her evil stepfather seems to have plans of his own.
Steffan
is the rowdy son of the Duke, who is hellbent on proving himself to his
family. Steffan arrives in Hamlin desperate and broke for glory and
reward. When he crosses path with Katerina, they both find they might be
unlikely allies.
I found the novel to be an
interesting read. I liked both main characters but, I was annoyed by how
Kat kept treating Steffan even though he kept showing her how much he
liked her. I thought the novel moved at a good pace without tons of
filler.

Synopsis:
A plague of rats. A giant beast outside the

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 her
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 sweet music he plays
on his pipe seems the only gentle thing about him. But there’s more to Steffan
than she suspects, and she finds drawn to him despite her misgivings.
Can Katerina and Steffan stop the
enemy from stealing every child of Hamlin? Or will their interference create a
worse fate for them all? Melanie Dickerson delivers another exciting fairy tale
journey of intrigue and romance in this reimagining of the classic Pied Piper
story.
