The moonlight market

Joanne Harris

£9.99

Pre-order

Orphaned, lonely, and lost in his photography work, Tom has no intention of falling in love. And yet, love finds him in the shape of beautiful Vanessa, who lives a dangerous double life in the heart of London’s King’s Cross. Tom’s pursuit of Vanessa leads him to discover an alternate world, hidden amongst the streets and rooftops of London – and inhabited by strange and colourful beings. In this mysterious realm, two ancient factions – one of night, one of day – have waged war for centuries over a forbidden love and a long-lost prince of sun and starlight. But when Tom finds a secret market that appears only in moonlight, where charms and spells are bought with memories, he starts to wonder whether he’s been here before.

Description

Tom is a photographer and dreamer, capturing snapshots of the city around him, talking to the people on the fringes of his world, always searching for something he knows is missing but can never quite grasp.

He speaks to a beggar. He saves a woman from a gang on a darkened alley. He takes his photos . . . but only as he develops the negatives does he see the magical, hidden world he has brushed up against in all its beauty, and menace, and danger.

And deep in those negatives is the clue he needs to continue his search: a midnight, moonlit market in the secret heart of London, where everything is for sale and anything is possible . . .
