Pauper King (Paperback)

IX Someone has put a pickaxe through her head.

VIII Her father, the disgraced King Johannes Wynpenny, vows to hunt down her murderer.

VII But then others die-more beloved fairy tale characters-and now it's clear that a deranged killer is on the loose.

VI Someone who leaves behind taunting clues and a cruel countdown.

V Someone seeking revenge.

IV As his town is swept by witch hunt hysteria, Johannes must stop the maniac before others fall victim...

III ...including himself.

II E. Stuart Marlowe weaves a tale of magical realism and crime, where fantasy and horror bleed into historical fact.

I And where the fables from our past speak to us across the centuries.
