The Bookshop Below

'Mesmerizing and magical' SARAH BETH DURST 'Darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching' V. L. BOVALINO Enter the beautiful and cutthroat world of magic and secret societies, where a bookseller must contend with a rival that will push her far past her limits. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Catelyn Wilson. The bookshop must have an owner. . . Cassandra Fairfax has always known that bookshops are magic, filled with stories that can change your life . . . for a price. She grew up in one, after all, until her guardian Chiron threw her out and all but shuttered the shop. Since then, she's barely been making ends meet, trading stolen books to power-hungry playboys to get by. Until Cassandra receives painful news: Chiron is dead. The bookshop is hers. Thrown into a world of unscrupulous collectors, deadly ink magic and shady societies, Cassandra quickly realises she's out of her depth, even with the reluctant help of her irritatingly handsome rival, Lowell Sharpe. Because a dark force is coming, and if Cassandra doesn't stop it, it could unravel the bookshop entirely . . .
