Najizaki Kai-Se doesn't have much time left. With an inexplicable sickness and a quest he cannot deny of a fallen friend, he delves into Shaoryeong, the realm of homicidal spirits and imprisoned gods, in search for answers.

Paekdora Nao-Zai is running out of time. Upon being called to the Imperial Palace as the newest member of the Royal Guard, he is greeted with a dying prince and an Empire on the verge of collapse. With a task he cannot refuse, Nao-Zai has to brave friends and foes alike in a quest not just to save the Empire but Kai-Se's life as well.

Shaoryeong reaps what is due and the veil between worlds may not be able to contain its hunger. It's up to Kai-Se and Nao-Zai to contain it before the webs of conspiracy weave a trap they can't escape.

From the author of the award-winning novella, Kolibrie, comes the second installment of The Piper of Mirchaek Trilogy, where the realm of splendor may not be as perfect as it appears, and at this moment, time is not on anyone's side.
