Max meets Frau Totenkinder who gives him a magical pipe of his own which he learns to use for evil purposes. Bo Peep becomes a member of an assassin's guild. Peter winds up in Hamelin where he becomes a member of a thieves guild.
The announcement causes the families to flee in panic. Max then returns to camp claiming that the empire's troops have attacked. While they are asleep, Max - jealous of Peter because he was given the flute - kills his father while they are away from camp. The Pipers and Peeps escape to the Dark Forest. When the Piper family is visiting their long-time family friends, the Peep family, the empire's army attacks. Although Peter is the younger son, his father bestows on him a magical flute, a family heirloom that has ability to avert danger. Peter Piper and his brother Max are sons of traveling minstrels. The novel flips between telling the history of the main characters in Hesse, their homeland, and current events in the mundane world (what the Fables call our world). The novel also reveals secrets of some of the regular FABLES series cast members including Bigby Wolf, Frau Totenkinder, and Bo Peep. Thus begins an epic tale of sibling rivalry, magic, music and revenge that spans medieval times to the present day, when their deadly conflict surfaces in the placid calm of modern day Fabletown. Two brothers - Peter Piper and his older brother Max - encounter ominous forces that change them both irreparably. The tale takes place long ago, in the deepest dark of The Black Forest.
