The Shadow Market. The Girl Who Sold Her Shadow, #1

In the soot-dark city of Nareth, everything has a price, even the parts of a person no one can see. Shadows, voices, reflections, dreams, memories, and grief are bought and sold behind polished counters and hidden doors. For the poor, survival often means surrendering something invisible. For Talia Vey, a desperate choice becomes the beginning of a terrifying journey into a world where magic is not wondrous, but hungry.
When Talia makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the person she loves most, she believes she has only given up a shadow. But in Nareth, nothing taken by the market stays silent forever. Dark, emotional, and richly atmospheric, The Shadow Market is a haunting fantasy of poverty, sacrifice, soul-deep bargains, and the dangerous courage it takes to reclaim what was never meant to be sold. Perfect for readers who love dark fantasy, gothic cities, morally complex heroines, living magic, hidden markets, and stories where love can be both a weakness and a weapon.
