The bookshop must have an owner . . .

'A DARK DREAM . . . BEWARE. THIS FAIRY TALE IS DEADLY' LAINI TAYLOR, on The City of Stardust

If you want a story that will change your life, Chiron's bookshop is where you go. For those lucky enough to grace its doors, it's a glimpse into a world of deadly bargains and powerful, magical books.

For Cassandra Fairfax, it's a reminder of everything she lost, when Chiron kicked her out and all but shuttered the shop. Since then, she's used her skills in less . . . ethical ways, trading stolen books and magical readings to wealthy playboys looking for power money can't buy.

Then Chiron dies. And if Cassandra knows anything, it's this: the bookshop must always have an owner.

To restore the shop, she'll need the help of Lowell Sharpe, a rival bookseller who is everything Cassandra is not - and knows it, too.

But as she is plunged into a world of unscrupulous collectors, deadly ink magic and shady societies, a dark force threatens to unravel the bookshops entirely . . .

'Rich, dark and romantic, The Bookshop Below is a must read for everyone who believes in the magic of books' M. A. KUZNIAR

'Steeped in bookish magic and infused with the comfort and terror of a favourite tragic fairytale, The Bookshop Below is darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching' TORI BOVALINO

Georgia Summers's magical bookshop is my new favorite place. It may be fraught and deadly, and even a little seedy ­­- as flawed as Cassandra Fairfax, its hesitant new owner - but the mystery and danger are part of its charm. The Bookshop Below is a delicious read, I loved every second of it, but can it please be real? * Laini Taylor, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone *
Steeped in bookish magic and infused with the comfort and terror of a favourite tragic fairytale, The Bookshop Below is darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching * Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open Grave *
Rich, dark and romantic, The Bookshop Below is a must read for everyone who believes in the magic of books * M. A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Upon a Frosted Star and Midnight in Everwood *
A love letter to the power of words, for both good and evil. I devoured this story and adored the taste of ink, romance, and magic in every page! * Catelyn Wilson, author of All the Devils *
