Nicolas loves music.
But when he plays a forgotten piano hidden in his Uncle Olaf’s shed, he doesn’t just create a melody — he opens a gateway through time.
The Magic Piano is powered by a mysterious “pure essence,” a force discovered long ago by the shadowy Lord Occulus. With a single sequence of notes, Nicolas and his family are swept into a rushing wormhole that hurls them across centuries and into distant worlds.
One moment they stand in the glittering court of King Henry VIII.
The next, they wander the fog of Victorian England.
Soon they are racing across the Wild West — and even beyond Earth itself, to planets and nebulae where myth and monsters are terrifyingly real.
But someone is hunting them.
The ruthless Grand Wizard of Balthazar wants the power of the piano — and he will chase them across history to claim it.
With the help of Nedebiah, a retired wizard with secrets of his own, Nicolas must find the courage to protect his family, outwit villainous warlocks, and survive worlds filled with danger, wonder, laughter, tears and impossible choices.
Because in a universe ruled by magic and time, one wrong note can change everything.
The journey home may be the greatest adventure of all.
Perfect for readers who love sweeping fantasy, time-travel, legendary battles, and unforgettable worlds — The Tales of the Magic Piano is the thrilling first book in an epic eight-part saga.
