About In an Absent Dream
Katherine Lundy would rather study and dream than become the respectable woman expected of her. When she discovers a doorway to the Goblin Market, a world built on logic, reason, riddles, and fair value, she believes she has found paradise—until the cost of belonging becomes impossible to escape.
