Not Good For Maidens

Salem's Lot meets The Darkest Part of the Forest in this gruesome, horror-fantasy retelling of Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market."

Louisa doesn’t believe in magic, until her teenage aunt Neela is kidnapped to the goblin market.

The market is a place of magic, where twisting streets, succulent fruits, glimmering jewels, and death are on offer to the unwary human. An enticing place that her mother and aunt barely escaped seventeen years ago, paying a terrible price.

With only three days before the market disappears, Lou must navigate the treacherous market, controlled by bloodthirsty goblins who crave vengeance against her family. She must learn the songs and tricks of the goblins to save Neela, or the market might just end up claiming her too. --From the Back Cover

“With equal measures of terror and tenderness, Tori Bovalino crafts a vivid story as alluring as the taste of goblin fruit.” --Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge and Forestfall

"A spellbinding dark fantasy of generational magic and mischief. With haunting prose, this riveting tale will hold you captive like the call of the Goblin Market itself." --Rosiee Thor, author of Fire Becomes Her and Tarnished are the Stars
