Description
Opal is an orphan, a high-school dropout and a full-time cynic, determined to find a better life for herself and her younger brother outside Eden, a town renowned for bad luck. When she gets the chance to earn a good wage at Starling House, the town’s haunted mansion, she cannot resist. Her new workplace is uncanny and full of secrets, as is Arthur, its brooding heir. Yet the house also feels strangely and dangerously like something Opal has never had: a home. As sinister forces gather around Eden, Opal may finally have found a reason to stay, but she will have to fight for it. This modern Gothic fantasy reimagines Beauty and the Beast and includes a bonus short story set beyond the house’s tangled gates. The paperback is a romantic and spellbinding Gothic fairy tale from Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-shortlisted author Alix E. Harrow and a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick.
