This story is set in the world of the Charm of Magpies series. The embattled lovers must find a way to work together-or London could go up in flames. And when wild magic hits the rag-and-bottle shop where Ned lives, a panicked Crispin falls back onto bad habits.
An ancient evil is waking up and seeking its freedom. But something is stirring among London's forgotten discards. Sick of the trouble it brings, sick of its dangerous grip on Crispin and the miserable look it puts in his eyes, and sick of being afraid that a gentleman magician won't want a street paper-seller forever-or even for much longer.
Not everyone believes he's a reformed character, and the strain is putting unbearable pressure on his secret relationship with waste-man Ned Hall. Freed from his treacherous master, he's learning how to use his magical powers the right way. Crispin Tredarloe never meant to become a warlock. Both Crispin and Ned are meticulously drawn characters." -Reviews by Jessewave on A Queer Trade It's amazing what people throw away.
