Guided by the teachings of The Frog and The Loon, he yearns for one thing: a proper smoking pipe that will finally give his name meaning. But this is no ordinary journey. The Piper must survive the wilds of Tobakana, using every resource at his disposal. His faith will be tested, his resolve challenged, and his soul pushed to its limits-all in pursuit of a simple yet elusive goal. Will The Piper find what he seeks, or will the trials of Tobakana consume him? Discover the beginning of an epic tale in A Piper's Tale , the debut novel by Philip L. Preston.
