âAlix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talentâ - Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six

Step into Starling House â" if you dare. Alix E. Harrow reimagines Beauty and the Beast in this gorgeously modern Gothic fantasy, perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Naomi Novik.

No one in Eden remembers when Starling House was built. But everyone agrees that itâs best to let the house â" and its last, lonely heir â" go to rot.

Starling House is uncanny and ugly and fully of secrets, just like its heir. 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 sheâs never had: a home.

But Opal isnât the only one interested in the house, or the horrors and wonders that lie beneath it. If Opal wants a home, sheâll have to fight for it. Sheâll have to dig up her familyâs ugly history and let herself dream of a better future. Sheâll have to go down, down into Underland, and claw her way back to the light . . .

This is a romantic and spellbinding Gothic fairytale from Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-shortlisted Alix E. Harrow.
