THE NIGHTMARKET is a multiple point of view novel which follows three young people living under the seemingly unending and undeniable rulership of The Nation.
Roes Sparro is a trader in the Walled Keep, just trying to live to see sunrise and keep on the right side of the knife. But when her past and future collide and she’s forced to accept help from one of the Nation’s own Inspectors, she realises the only way to live might be to escape the Keep. And she might take Inspector Orren with her. Orren follows orders without question, even if that means betraying the Nation itself. Meanwhile, Niamh, toils in a Nation mine knows nothing lives forever. And that includes the Nation itself.
