Synopsis

“Twisting, tumbling through the endless black, the boy pursed his lips, and with his last breath, he whistled.”
– from A Piper at the Gates

A song is haunting the children of starship Hamelin.

They hear it everywhere—in their VR chambers, in their dreams, even through the locked doors of their family cabins. The melody calls to them. Beckons them. Especially Jack and Lucy.

Lucy lives under the eye of her military mother, dreaming of escape. Jack builds strange instruments out of salvaged code and sorrow. Neither of them knows who The Piper is… but both know they’re being called.

As the Fleet drifts through deep space—fleeing a dying Earth, bound for a planet they’ll never live to see—Jack and Lucy begin to unravel the mystery behind the song. What they discover will tear their lives apart… and offer a chance to become something more than the system ever allowed.

Piper at the Gates is a lyrical sci-fi coming-of-age novel about love, rebellion, and the music that frees us.

For readers who love...
- Lyrical speculative fiction exploring grief, identity, and imagination
- Stories like A Monster Calls, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and Lanny
- Quiet revolutionaries, mythic echoes, and the haunted edges of technology

Aboard the starship Hamelin, families live isolated lives, policed by strict hierarchy and digital illusion. Children study in immersive VR chambers, cut off from their parents and each other. But something has slipped through the system: a song, ancient and impossible, leaking through code and memory.

Told through dual perspectives and set against a backdrop of interstellar exile, Piper at the Gates blends sci-fi, surrealism, and psychological realism in the first novel of The Children of Hamelin trilogy.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabr�ck, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
