Description: In a world scarred by the tale of the Pied Piper, young Patch Brightwater is imprisoned for playing forbidden music. Escaping with an unusual band of allies—a girl cursed to be a rat and a loyal dracogriff—Patch sets out to stop a murderous Piper who threatens both humans and dragons. This richly imagined adventure combines folklore, magic, and friendship with sweeping danger. The first in the Songs of Magic series, it mixes dark fairytale roots with an exhilarating fantasy quest.
