"A gorgeous, aching love letter to stories, storytellers, and the
doors they lead us through...absolutely enchanting."--Christina Henry,
bestselling author of Alice and Lost Boys
LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER! Finalist for the 2020 Hugo, Nebula,
Locus, and World Fantasy Awards.
In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of
self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and
lyrical debut.
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller
is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels
little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully
maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.
Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other
worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure, and
danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and
January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.
Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable
love, and the enduring power of stories await in Alix E. Harrow's
spellbinding debut--step inside and discover its magic.
Praise for The Ten Thousand Doors of January:

letter makes against a page."―NPR Books
"Devastatingly good, a sharp, delicate nested tale of worlds within
worlds, stories within stories, and the realm-cracking power of
words."―Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author
