Lou had never been a believer in witchcraft or superstitions until her adolescent aunt Neela was taken to the goblin market.

Lou is determined to save Neela, and she picks up songs, spells, and skills to assist her to go about this perilous world and get past a goblin’s defenses. However, she only has three days to find Neela before the market vanishes and her aunt is permanently turned into one of them.
If she doesn’t take care, the market may end up claiming her as well.
