Beneath Covent Garden lies the Untermarkt, a secret bazaar where anything can be bought—a whisper of luck, a lover’s first blush, even a royal destiny.
Deri has spent his life as a servant to one of the Market’s most powerful merchants, watching, waiting for his chance to buy his freedom. When a runaway princess arrives, desperate to sell her birthright, he sees his opportunity. But royal enforcers and ruthless Master Merchants are close behind, and Deri is caught in the crossfire.
As intrigue swirls and betrayals mount, Deri finds himself torn between power, survival, and the love of Owain, a man whose own secrets could unravel the Market itself.
Shortlisted for the Mythopoeic Award, this spellbinding historical fantasy is perfect for fans of Neverwhere and The Night Circus.
