January Scaller lives in a mansion of locked rooms and guarded secrets. To Mr. Locke, she’s a well-behaved curiosity, as polished and still as the artifacts he collects. But January longs for something more.
When she finds a strange book filled with tales of secret doors and distant worlds, her quiet life fractures. Each story feels like a memory she’s forgotten. Each page turns her world sideways.
Soon January is chasing truths across the seams of reality itself, drawn into a love story that stretches between worlds and a danger that could close the doors forever.
Alix Harrow’s debut is a spellbinding ode to adventure, imagination, and the stories that shape us. Some doors are meant to be opened, if you’re brave enough to step through.
