Goblin Market

Toast is a changeling child whose life has always been for trade. Ever since her goblin parents ripped her away from the human family that raised her, Toast has struggled to find security in the transactional world of the fabled goblin market, where anything can be bought and everything has a price. As a guide for humans that stumble into the Market, sheâs learned that the fae world is cruel to the unwary.

The only fae friend she trusts is the enigmatic Kulm, the ageless guardian whose existence anchors and protects the Market. But when the wayward human Sam stumbles into the Market and Kulm is found murdered, Toast will have to barter harder than ever before. Sam is accused of the murder though Toast knows sheâs innocent. With the begrudging help of a goblin fruit-addicted artist, a reluctant kelpie, and a fae princess with her own agenda, Toast will traverse the strange, fluid and twisting halls of the Market in search of the rarest commodity amongst the fae: the truth.

When the high fae courts take advantage in the power vacuum left by Kulmâs death, itâs Toastâs home and her strange community that is threatened by stakes greater than one murder. Whatâs more, the abduction of Samâs sister by the high faeâ"which caused Sam to seek the Market in the first placeâ"makes their role in Kulmâs death suspect. Exactly what trade are the power-hungry fae scheming? And can any of Toastâs market-bound family afford the dangerous cost?

Ultimately, when bartering for the very heart of the Market itself, Toast will have to decide where her loyalties lie, the value of a home, and whatâs not for sale.
