Chapter One- Bargaining

Seventeen-year-old Aphmau Phoenix works in her mother's shop selling antiques to wealthy patrons. Even though she and her mom know that the rich can't be trusted, they rely on them to keep the store afloat and put food on the table.
Then charismatic Laurance Zvahl walks into the store and seems to understand Aphmau better than anyone else, and she begins to wonder if maybe she and her mother were wrong.
