Step into Starling House, 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.

This edition includes a bonus short story that reaches beyond the house's gnarly, tangled gates.

Opal is a lot of things - orphan, high-school dropout, full-time cynic. Most of all, she's determined to find a better life for her younger brother. One that gets them both out of Eden, a town renowned for bad luck. So when Opal gets the chance to earn a good wage at Starling House, Eden's very own haunted mansion, she can't resist.

Her new workplace is uncanny and full of secrets ­­- just like Arthur, its brooding heir. It also feels strangely, dangerously, like something Opal never had: a home. As sinister forces converge on Eden, Opal realizes she might finally have found a reason to stick around. But now she'll have to fight for it . . .

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

Step into Lark House - if you dare . . .

Nobody in the town of Eden is old enough to remember the building of Lark House, but the stories have been passed down through the generations like good china. The hairdresser says it was the beginning of Eden's bad luck - the river water they can't drink, the coal dust they can't breathe, the cemetery that fills too fast.

Opal Gravely has spent her life collecting stories about Lark House. One evening, she accidentally runs into Arthur Lark, its reclusive last heir. He offers her a job as a cleaner, and desperate for the money, she accepts. But there are monsters beneath Lark House, clamouring to escape and wreak havoc on the town. And even they might not be the biggest threat . . .

The Underland is a sweeping gothic fairytale from Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-shortlisted Alix E. Harrow.
