On inheriting his father’s tumbledown Irish cottage, Isarel West, a university lecturer and musician, discovers some old sheet music composed by his late grandfather: a notorious and scandalous composer from the 1930s, nicknamed ‘Judas’ because of his allegiance to the Third Reich. Isarel starts to play the music entitled ‘The Devil’s Piper’, which some people believed his grandfather had based on the Black Chant – a sequence of music that legend says can call an ancient power from the grave. But little does he know the sinister force that the music conjures up – a force that brought misery and tragedy to others throughout centuries. Isarel sets out to trace the dark legend to its source. As he does so, the truth about the ancient music begins to unfold. For the legend is true! And now, in the present, the Black Chant has fallen into the hands of a group of people who will once again make evil use of it . . . Fans of LEIGH BARDUGO’s Alex Stern series, T.

An addictive fantasy romance from TikTok sensation Piper CJ, now newly revised and edited. Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.
