Blackmarket Histoires

In the world of the ultra-rich, Mauktika is the woman who delivers the impossible. ​Clad in fine silks and conch pearls, she is the elite's most sophisticated hunter, turning the ocean's myths into their private trophies. From red sea dragons to golden-shelled tortoises, if it belongs to legend, Mauktika can catch it, cage it, and sell it. ​But her empire of salt and status was built on a single, haunting memory: a girl on a Pondicherry beach and a creature with a tail that vanished into the surf. ​She has spent years scouring the deep for that ghost, but the ocean has finally stopped hiding. Her latest catch isn't a mindless beast to be auctioned off-it is a merman with an ancient voice and a terrifying intelligence. ​Now, the hunter must decide: Is he her greatest prize, or the one soul who knows exactly what she sacrificed to reach the surface?

Seventeen-year-old Arden Vale has a secret-he can steal echoes: fragments of voices, thoughts, and memories that linger in places people leave behind. It's not something he chose, and it's not something he's proud of, but in a crumbling city where silence is power, stolen echoes are currency. Arden scrapes by selling whispers to the black market, until one night he accidentally steals an echo that isn't just a memory-it's alive. The voice belongs to Cael, a mysterious boy whose soul seems trapped between worlds. Cael remembers nothing of who he was, only that he's fading. As Arden and Cael unravel the truth behind Cael's half-existence, they uncover a dangerous secret: echoes aren't just remnants-they are pieces of people, stolen over centuries by an order known as the Hollow Choir. And Cael was never meant to survive the theft.
