Dark Urban/Mythological Fantasy set in a London and a mythological British Isles.

Nick McInerny was born empty. No conscience. No empathy. No soul. Perfect for the City of London’s cut-throat trading floors. When a Fraud Office raid forces him out, he lands at the mysterious Marlowe & Sons — an antique firm dealing in something far more valuable than stocks or bonds.

One minute Nick is burning evidence and dodging regulators, the next he is trading souls for dreams. As the deals stack up and the Collectors start coming for payment, Nick begins to feel something he never has before… guilt. And once you’ve got a soul, the price of losing it becomes terrifyingly real.

Think Rivers of London meets American Gods with a heavy dose of The Library at Mount Char body-horror weirdness and the moral rot of The First Law. Soulless anti-heroes, predatory office colleagues who might literally eat you, ancient Roman legions rebranding as corporate raiders, and a London that’s far older and hungrier than it looks.
