The Moonlight Market

With this novel, Harris (Broken Light) demonstrates her gift for weaving grief and pain into something beautiful. When a fae king and queen’s stormy marriage shatters after their son vanishes, they both follow him to the world of the Sightless Folk. This world is a London that will be familiar to readers—except when viewed from Tom Argent’s negatives. The hapless, obsessive photographer catches unprintable glimpses of the invisible war between the king’s Moths and the queen’s Butterflies. He’s soon beguiled by a predatory Butterfly, Vanessa, who manipulates his obsession so she can consume his life force. Tom is rescued from Vanessa but desperately pursues her to prove that his love is true. His desires lead him to a fairy market and the mysterious, mutable Spider at the center of the conflict. He gains a reluctant Moth guide to teach him the ways of her people, but Tom’s heart leads him into a war that promises him both true love and certain death.
