Enter the bazaar of the bizarrewhere fate and fortunes are for sale just beneath Covent Gardenin this high-stakes historical fantasy debut set in 19th-century London, perfect for fans ofNeverwhereandThe Night Circus.

Below Covent Garden lies the Untermarkt, where anything and everything has a price: a lovers first blush, a month of honesty, a wisp of fortune. As a child, Deri was sold to one of the Markets most powerful merchants. Now, after years of watchful servitude, Deri finally spots a chance to buy not only his freedom but also his place amongst the Markets elite when he stumbles into the path of a runaway princess desperate to sell her royal destiny.

But news of the missing princess and her wayward destiny spreads. Royal enforcers and Master Merchants alike are after it. Outmanoeuvring them all would all be hard enough had Deri not just also met the love of his life, a young man called Owain, whose employers are using the Market for their own nefarious schemes.

Deri soon finds that the price of selling the royal destiny, making a name for himself, and saving the man he loves is dear. The cost of it all might just change the destiny of London forever..
