Author Description

In the year 1284 A.D., a stranger in colorful clothes arrived in the troubled town of Hamelin. A musical genius such as none had ever seen, he promised to rid the village of its ills...for a price. He came through, according to legend. The villagers not so much. Their deal broken, the so-called Pied Piper extracted a different, much dearer price in response. He took their children. Led them away into a mountain that opened before them and closed behind them, and with the exception of three kids unable to follow the Piper, the children of Hamelin were never seen again. Until now. They're coming back, the most gifted of his musical students. Some seek power, some have noble intentions, some don't even know they're the reincarnated spirits of those taken by the musical mystery man. And when his long-forgotten instruments are in their hands, anything is possible. Have they come back as "instruments" of the Earth's salvation--or its destruction? Herein collected are the first four of the twelve Piper Gods tales...seemingly unconnected to one another, perhaps, but the song is just getting started. With tributes to rock and roll legends like the Doors, the Who, Jefferson Airplane and Bob Dylan, Legacy is packed with monsters, mayhem and music.
