In the glittering world of the ton wealth is as important as rank, rank nearly as important as connections. But nothing is as vital to one’s success in Society as having the right ghost. What is fashionable in specters changes almost as often as preferred fabrics and necklines, favored Diamonds of Society and admired Town bucks. Trading an unstylish ghost can mean the difference between social success and utter failure. And no one is more adept at facilitating those trades than England’s most sought-after ghost broker... Mercury Raine.

Mercury Raine has spent his entire life surrounded by ghosts. Little about them can surprise him any longer. But when the Violet Giant, a ghost well over seven feet tall and built like a boulder, floats into his local pub, Mercury is as shocked as everyone else. And when the mysterious mountain of a specter knows Mercury at first glance, he is justifiably wary. Mercury’s identity is a closely guarded secret. His past is a mystery even to himself. And, for the first time in his life, the fortifications around his heart have begun to crack.

Sixteen all-new stories by science fiction’s top talents, collected by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Carson of Venus to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury’s “The Long Rain” to visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis’s...

Mercury Raine left London years ago, intending to never go back. Needing to never go back. His carefully guarded past is far too easy to piece together in that city. But the lady who has claimed his heart is being held hostage there, bait intended to draw him out. Determined to find her, Mercury takes the risk of returning to Town. Navigating the dangers that await him there will require all the stealthy survival skills he learned living on the streets of London and more than a little luck. But the peril that awaits him there is far greater than anything even he could imagine.

Mercury Raine is the most sought-after ghost broker in all the kingdom, with more ghosts than anyone knows and more secrets than one person should have. With a dangerous past threatening to catch up with him, Mercury has taken on the goliath task of training his new neighbor, Tacey Wilde, in the ghost brokering trade. Doing so isn’t without risks, but letting her and her all-too-knowing ghost simply walk away is far more perilous.
