In The Demon’s Surrender, the point of view shifts to Sin. Up to this point, her entire life has revolved around the Market, and her family. She is currently in competition with Mae to win control of the Goblin Market. Since Mae is a “tourist,” Sin does not think Mae has what it takes to become the next leader. (Unfortunately, the current leader feels it is an even match, hence the competition.) Sin’s life is also greatly complicated by the escalating war between the Market and the magicians, her home life, her father, and the possibility of a romantic relationship with Alan Ryves. (With whom she was emphatically not interested in previously, so it is a surprise to both of them.)
