Alix E. Harrow Libri

Estate 1901. In un'antica dimora del Vermont vive January Scaller, sotto la tutela del facoltoso signor Locke. January si sente fuori posto, come gli oggetti preziosi che popolano la villa. Suo padre lavora per Locke, viaggiando in cerca di reperti unici, mentre lei trascorre lunghi periodi immersa in storie, infastidendo le bambinaie. A sette anni scopre una Porta che conduce a mondi incantati, ma gli adulti le dicono che sono solo fantasie da bambini. Così, cerca di abbandonare i sogni di avventure per diventare grande. Tuttavia, da adolescente, trova un libro rilegato in pelle, "Le diecim por", che emana un profumo di cannella e carbone. La lettura di questo libro le offre conforto quando scopre che il padre è disperso e probabilmente morto. January si immerge nella lettura, risvegliando sogni che pensava irrealizzabili. Ma man mano che legge, si rende conto che la storia sembra essere legata a lei in modo indissolubile. Con coraggio, January inizia a inseguire i suoi sogni, scoprendo che potrebbero diventare realtà.

From Alix E. Harrow, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest. A legend. A lie. A love story. Sir Una Everlasting, Dominion's greatest hero, is an orphaned girl who became a knight and died for queen and country. Her true life story has been forgotten, overshadowed by the songs and stories that celebrate her legend. Centuries later, Owen Mallory, a failed soldier and struggling scholar, becomes captivated by Una's tale. His journey takes him from war to the archives and ultimately back in time, where he and Una are intertwined, forced to relive the same narrative repeatedly. However, this cycle always concludes in heartbreak. To alter Una's legend and tell a different story, they must rewrite history itself, risking everything in the process. The book has received high praise for its originality and emotional depth, with critics calling it an exquisite romance and a masterpiece. Alix E. Harrow's work continues to resonate, solidifying her reputation as one of the finest writers of her generation.

"A vivid, subversive and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness and a good working knowledge of fairy tales." —Katherine Arden It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no-one has lived past twenty-one. Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters--James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna--join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote-and perhaps not even to live-the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.

Follow professional fairy tale fixer, Zinnia Gray, as she helps women get the endings they deserve; first Sleeping Beauty in A Spindle Splintered and then Snow White's Evil Queen in A Mirror Mended!

Opal knows better than to mess with haunted houses or brooding men, but it might be a chance to get her brother out of Eden. It feels dangerously like something she's never had: a home. But Opal isn't the only one interested in the house, or the horrors and wonders that lie beneath it. If Opal wants a home, she'll have to fight for it. She'll have to dig up her family's ugly history and let herself dream of a better future. She'll have to go down, down into Underland, and claw her way back to the light . . .
