Synopsis
In Victorian London, a hidden realm called the Untermarkt lies beneath Covent Garden, where goblin merchants trade in anything and everything, destinies included. Deri was sold as an infant to the Master Merchant Maurlocke and now works under contract, saving to buy his freedom and become a merchant himself. When he meets Owain, a young man bound by a workhouse contract, the two fall for each other. Soon Deri also meets a runaway princess who wants to sell her royal destiny. Royal enforcers and rival merchants pursue her, and Deri must decide how far he will go, and what he will risk, to win freedom for himself and the people he cares about.
