The Dark Flute

Eliza Nickel has gone through most of her life unseen, first abandoned by her absent parents and now left behind by the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. Suddenly finding herself with very few options, she jumps at the chance to be a temporary substitute teacher at a primary school. But when she discovers an old book of fairy tales and reads the story of the Pied Piper to the students in her class, Eliza unknowingly opens a portal for a whole lot of trouble to come her way.

Wolfgang Harding aka The Pied Piper has a chip on his shoulder about his troubled childhood, one that had been easily soothed by the power of The Dark Flute. This power made people fear him, as his melodies made first the rats and then the children disappear. But lately the power has been fading. There is a problem, and Wolfgang is convinced it has something to do with the woman he saw in his dream. If he can find her, and kill her, then his power would be restored.

Unbeknown to both Eliza and Wolfgang, multiple copies of this mysterious fairy tale book have been making their way into the wrong hands. These books are portals for magical beings to enter our world, but someone has been collecting these books and harnessing their power, putting both worlds in danger. When a boy with special powers is kidnapped, Wolfgang is forced to stop trying to kill Eliza, and instead join forces with her to find the boy, for he may be the key to saving both their worlds.

Filled with twists and turns, suspense, humor and romance, The Dark Flute reads like a fast paced fairy tale for adults. It celebrates the power of books and the unlikely heroes that often lurk within ourselves.
