A Market of Dreams and Destiny (2023)
Trip Galey
"A book as rich with wonder as the market in its pages. Galey's London is a world where anything - anything - is for sale: a glance, the feeling of moonlight, true love. Careful or you might end up bartering your heart away."

Katherine Rundell
"A menagerie of delights. So packed with magic you'll want to take notes. Impossible Creatures is a world you'll want to move into."
