He dubbed himself the Rat King when he foresaw the rodents crawling on his corpse, weaving in and out of his garments like a sensation, like a disease. Now he waits for them down in the ornate sewer home he fashioned. It is a fickle thing, the premonition of one's own death. It does strange things to the mind. They think him mad. She is the Rat King's Mute: beautiful and hideous, alluring and repulsive, fascinating, and yet, forgettable. A complimenting conjecture.

It will crumble only when the Pied Piper stops playing-and the rats return. _____________________________________________ Highest ranking: #345 in Paranormal 2/5/2018 Please note: violence, blood, sexual themes, and coarse language will appear in The Rat King.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
