Some memories are priceless. Others are dangerous enough to kill for.
Wren makes his living in a place most people will never find-the Memory Market, a strange nighttime bazaar that appears along the waterfront and disappears again with the tide. Beneath flickering lights and crooked signs, memories are bought, sold, traded, repaired, and sometimes stolen.
There are rules in the Market.
Vendors pay their fees. Buyers accept the consequences of what they purchase. And above all, the Market does not follow you home.
At least, it isn't supposed to.
Wren has spent years learning how to survive among brokers, patchers, collectors, Watchers, and people desperate enough to surrender pieces of their own past. But beneath everything he does is one memory he cannot escape: the voice of his father, Elias.
When that voice begins reaching him again, Wren is forced to question everything he believes about memory, loss, and the Market itself.
Then a mysterious auction offers something that should not exist.
Suddenly Wren finds himself caught between old rivalries, buried secrets, dangerous bargains, and forces within the Market that have been waiting far longer than he realizes. With his mentor Odile beside him-and enemies watching from the shadows-Wren must discover why his past is resurfacing before the Market collects a price he cannot afford to pay.
Dark, atmospheric, and filled with strange magic, The Memory Market is a fantasy about grief, love, regret, and the memories we would surrender if we could-and the ones we might risk everything to get back.
