[The Goblin Market does not stay in Mae's control forever, nor does she want it to. Five years pass and she, as agreed, hands the reigns over to Sin and takes a hard look at her life and decides that she has spent years and years making choices for Jamie, or for Nick, or for Adam, and none for herself. So with the scant savings she's manages to finangle away along the years, she books herself a holiday on her own.
There are covens in America who don't care that much if you're a magician, because you can be a witch anyway. There are covens in America who would take one look at Nick's mark on her neck and welcome her with open arms, a sister in worship; even though, technically, the only demon she ever summoned is her on again and off again boyfriend with no soul.
She has lead the Market into a subdued, sanitised, safe version of itself, and now she finds that she wants that edge back. So wild girl Mae is back, this time in New Orleans. Her sources say there's a shop for the occult that acts more like a doorway to it, and well, Mae is curious and feeling reckless. So she goes.
What she finds is probably a witch - but also the prettiest woman she's seen in her life. Honestly, it's intimidating.]
she summoned demons before you hipsters did
