Unsure of how he escaped the prison known as Ivanov's Home for Orphaned Boys, Fritz finds himself the newest apprentice in the most powerful wizard consortium, The Order. After uncovering clues to a decade-old murder, Fritz becomes the unwitting target of someone who wants him dead. To keep him from solving the mystery, they're willing to kill anyone - including Fritz's friends and family.

Now Fritz is in a race against time to unravel the clues and unmask the murderer before the next kill. If he has any hopes of surviving, Fritz must unify his fellow group of dysfunctional apprentices and confront the most deadly enemy he's ever known.

Drosselmeyer: Curse of the Rat King is book one of the action-packed Nutcracker Trilogy chronicling Drosselmeyer's rise to power and setting up the events in the Nutcracker Ballet.

Paul writes these fantastic books detailing characters we are all super familiar with but only know on a superficial level. Drosselmeyer follows the tale of the nutcracker... i grew up attending Arie Crown Theater in Chicago and various other churches and schools that held Christmas cantatas and plays about this famous character and his rich family. Finally i get to see some background into my childhood hero.

Did yall know that the author is also a famous writer of music for movies and plays?

Hes secretly the muffin man that lives down on Drury lane😂

Did yall know the author is also super famous

Get ready for hours of great entertainment! The author brings a fresh and creative tale to life that keeps the listener engaged and invested. It is a fun escape into another world full of relatable characters.

Thankfully, the narration was right on point. It was a performance that complimented the story perfectly. REALLY came through with uniquely identifiable voices for each character. Narrator has a rich deep voice, but somehow managed to do children and female voices without going falsetto.

The book wrapped a satisfying conclusion. Definitely take time to listen to the author's intesesting end notes.

Hoping this will be a series!!

Definitely a Great Read!
