A mysterious man only known as the Pied Piper haunts Aschein. Not only does he lead children away, but he robs many towns of the magic that sustains their life. Now, monsters overrun the world, and humans are being driven into a corner, unable to fend off the creatures that attack them more and more frequently. Enter sixteen year-old Klaudia, a disabled girl who was left behind because she was unable to follow the Piper. She is a living curse to the people of Hamelin, a painful reminder of their misfortune--and has no place in the town. When she receives a marriage proposal from the powerful Lord Himmel, she accepts without hesitation. Introduced into the world of magic, Klaudia finds her calling as a Magus, a powerful brand of sorcerers whose Affinities are among the most powerful in the world. But underneath the glamour and the luxury of Lord Himmel's castle lies a deadly secret. Soon, Klaudia will learn that not everything is as it seems, and freedom will always come at a dangerous price. *** EDITOR'S CHOICE OCTOBER 2020 Previously Wattpad Featured Lovely cover by @seventhstar Word count: 127K

When shy, introverted Enid returns home from a vacation in the UK, she's got a surprise waiting for her: There's a grandfather of hers her family never talked about. He is dying, and now she's got one last chance to meet him. Only at his deathbed does she learn she has inherited not only considerable wealth from him--including a storage in Paris chock-full of ancient artifacts--but also more trouble than she could possibly handle, and an honest-to-goodness curse on top of it. The more about her family history is revealed, the more obvious it gets: Wherever they walked, her grandfather, her great-grandfather ... death and disaster would inevitably follow in their wake. And now it follows her.
