From New York Times bestselling author Joanne Harris comes a richly imagined and captivating novel of two colliding worlds.
Deep in the heart of London, a young photographer named Tom Argent walks the streets and captures whatever catches his eye: an old man drinking coffee; a striking woman sipping champagne in St. Pancras station; a cloud of moths taking flight across the sky. He's orphaned, lonely, and lost in his work. He certainly has no intention of falling in love.

And yet, love finds him in the shape of beautiful Vanessa, who lives a dangerous double life in the heart of the city. Tom's pursuit of Vanessa leads him to discover an alternate world, hiding in plain sight among the streets and rooftops of London. A world unseen by common folk and inhabited by strange and colorful beings, in which two warring factions—one nocturnal, one in the light—wage war for the sake of a long-lost love, which can only end with one side's total annihilation.

The Moonlight Market will enchant readers with new worlds and epic romance and in this captivating modern fairytale about what could be hiding in the corner of your eye.

      Bestseller Harris (Chocolat) delivers a sweetly upbeat urban fantasy in which—unbeknownst to humans or the supernatural Sightless Folk with whom they coexist—the Butterfly and Moth Kingdoms wage an ancient war. Tom Argent lives a quiet, solitary life in London, with a passion for photography and little else. This changes with two chance meetings, first with an unhoused man who calls himself Spider, then with a woman named Vanessa, whose beauty shines so brightly Tom can’t help falling deeply, foolishly, in love with her. Tom’s pursuit of Vanessa unexpectedly draws him into the conflict between the butterflies—vibrantly beautiful creatures of daytime—and the moths, somber and unassuming denizens of night. Tom is a cipher for much of the story, tossed between the two sides while his own goals are frustratingly limited to capturing stolen moments on film and declaring his love to Vanessa. The combination of epic story and fairy tale prose captivates, however, and Harris builds an enchanting world around Tom and his companions. Urban fantasy readers seeking a lighthearted treat will find plenty to enjoy. Agent: John Wood, RCW.
