A/N: THIS BOOK IS BEING RE-WRITTEN, THE ORIGINAL CHAPTERS WILL STAY POSTED BUT THE NEW VERSION DOES NOT FOLLOW THE SAME STORYLINE. In Hamelin, power sings a deadly tune, and Rowena 'Aster' Craft is caught in its melody. Born under a legacy of forbidden magic, Aster has spent her life hiding in the shadows of Hamelin, a kingdom where secrets fester and power is sung through ancient music. Controlled by her cruel stepmother, the head mage, Aster longs for freedom, unaware her caged magic is both her greatest strength and deadliest curse. When she's thrust into a secret academy where music bends reality, Aster discovers she is the key to an ancient prophecy-one tied to a lost panpipe rumored to command souls and a legacy that could bring Hamelin to its knees. The bastard prince, his smirk a veil for secrets darker than the shadows he walks, becomes an unexpected player in her fate. Drawn to each other by secrets neither can afford to share, they must navigate a world where love is as treacherous as magic. Haunted by visions of the dead and those who fear her power, Aster must unravel the truth of her lineage before the Piper's curse consumes her. In Hamelin, every sacrifice demands a song: Aster must choose if she will be its instrument or its dissonance. #1 Readers Pick of Fantasy Pitch Wars by @Fantasy 🏅 #1 in sword and sorcery 🏅 #1 in epic fantasy 🏅 #2 in magic 🏅 #2 in sacrifice
