A woman inherits a pawnshop where you can sell your regrets, and then embarks on a magical journey when a charming young physicist wanders into the shop, in this dreamlike and enchanting fantasy novel. On a backstreet in Tokyo lies a pawnshop, but not everyone can find it. Most will see a cozy ramen restaurant. And only the chosen ones—those who are lost—will find a place to pawn their life choices and deepest regrets. Hana Ishikawa wakes on her first morning as the pawnshop’s new owner to find it ransacked, the shop’s most precious acquisition stolen, and her father missing. And then into the shop stumbles a charming stranger, quite unlike its other customers, for he offers help instead of seeking it. Together, they must journey through a mystical world to find Hana’s father and the stolen choice—by way of rain puddles, rides on paper cranes, the bridge between midnight and morning, and a night market in the clouds. But as they get closer to the truth, Hana must reveal a secret of her own—and risk making a choice that she will never be able to take back.

Winter Celeste has spent a lifetime suppressing the horrors of Sight, her particular Wicked talent. She may be Wicked, but she will never embrace the burden passed to the women in her family. When her avoidance tactics fail and she becomes caught in a nightmarish vision of the future, Winter is devastated to learn her sisters’ lives are in jeopardy. The Shadow Council, a ruthless assassin squad, is desperate to recruit Winter—the strongest Seer to exist in centuries—and they’ll use any means necessary to secure her compliance. Winter can’t work for the soulless council that murdered her mother. In an effort to alter the future, she takes off for the Maine coast. Hopping from one picturesque town to another, she figures if the Shadow Council can’t find her, they can’t offer her the job, and her family won’t have to suffer the consequences of her turning them down. Perfect logic. Until it isn’t. When the Shadow Council tracks Winter to the coast, they give her four days to make her decision. If she accepts the position her sisters’ lives will be spared.

Winter has the spirit of a warrior crammed into the body of a fairy, and there’s no one she dislikes more than Erikson. Case in point: when Erikson shows up on her lobstering boat, the first thing she does is pitch him overboard.

Except the more time she spends with Erikson, the more she realizes he isn’t what he presents to the world. He makes her laugh when she’s grown accustomed to frowning, he keeps her off-kilter with outrageous comments, and he’s unfailingly loyal. If Winter isn’t careful, she might fall for a man she knows her curse will never allow her to keep. When Winter and Erikson’s leads collide and they learn what the Shadow Council is scheming, they pull together a risky plan. Winter is determined to change the future, even if it means doing the one thing she’s always fought against: embracing her Wickedness.
