Book Description
Enter the bazaar of the bizarre—where fate and fortunes are for sale just beneath Covent Garden—in this high-stakes historical fantasy debut set in 19th-century London, perfect for fans of Neverwhere and The Night Circus. Below Covent Garden lies the Untermarkt, where anything and everything has a price: a lover’s first blush, a month of honesty, a wisp of fortune. As a child, Deri was sold to one of the Market’s 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 Market’s 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..

Book Description
The fae are real, and Hetta Valstar is trying her best to marry one. If Hetta and Wyn ever manage to marry, it will be the first union between Faerie and Mortal since the Iron Law was revoked. The mortal Queen has given them her blessing-sort of. Now, Wyn needs permission from the fae High King. There's an intensely personal reason why they need to tie the knot as soon as possible, and time is not on their side. The clock is ticking. Except in Wyn's home court, which is trapped under magical stasis. To break the spell will mean venturing into the deepest realms of Faerie, where even fae princes-and definitely human lords-fear to tread. Unfortunately, the fae problems aren't limited to Faerie. Public tension is rising, and the reveal of Wyn's true identity makes him and Hetta the centre of the storm. On top of this, Stariel's magic is going haywire, and Hetta is struggling with her intensifying powers-and she might not be the only one affected. The High King might be the only one who can help, since he's responsible for the fae returning to the Mortal Realm in the first place. If only they knew where he was.

Yad
Author: Daniel Karpinski
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525523686
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Set in early 18th-century Spain, Yad offers a compelling and passionate re-imagining of the construction of El Transparente, an altar in the Cathedral of Toledo that represents the highest achievement of the Spanish Baroque. While running from his lover over the roofs of the city, Narciso Tomé, the altar’s architect, accidentally causes the death of Toledo’s public prosecutor. Fearful of the Inquisition, he flees in a hot-air balloon. Meanwhile, his wife, Esperanza, disguises herself as him and continues to work in the cathedral. After crashing in the south of Spain, Narciso becomes a bullfighter, travels with a band of sophisticated robbers, and then moonlights as a cheesemaker before returning to Toledo on the day of the altar’s consecration. Yad is an engaging tour of 18th-century Toledo, moving between marzipan shops, steel blacksmithies and the densely populated underworld of crime and prostitution. Engaging, funny, cerebral and touching, this novel – steeped in the history of the time – explores the universal issues of betrayal, repentance, forgiveness and love.
