  ''Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent'' - Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six
  
  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.
  
  Nobody in Eden remembers when Starling House was built. But the town agrees it''s best to let this ill-omened mansion - and its last lonely heir - go to hell. Stories of the house''s bad luck, like good china, have been passed down the generations.
  
  Opal knows better than to mess with haunted houses, or brooding men. But when an opportunity to work there arises, the money might get her brother out of Eden. Starling House is uncanny and full of secrets - just like Arthur, its heir. It also feels strangely, dangerously, like something she''s never had: a home. Yet Opal isn''t the only one interested in the horrors and the wonders that lie buried beneath it.
  
  Sinister forces converge on Eden - and Opal realizes that if she wants a home, she''ll have to fight for it. Even if it involves digging up her family''s ugly past to achieve a better future. She''ll have to go down, deep down beneath Starling House, to claw her way back to the light . . .
  
  This is a romantic and spellbinding Gothic fairy tale from Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-shortlisted Alix E. Harrow.
  
  ''Starling House is Alix E. Harrow''s greatest work yet'' - Ava Reid, author of Juniper and Thorn Lire la suite Fermer

  Knives Out meets The Binding in this historical romp full of magic, romance and adventure.
  
  Maud Blyth has always longed for adventure. She''d hoped for plenty of it when she agreed to help her beloved older brother unravel a magical conspiracy. She even volunteered to serve as an old lady''s companion on an ocean liner. But Maud didn''t expect the old lady to turn up dead on the very first day of the voyage.
  
  Now she has to deal with a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and the lovely, dangerously outrageous Violet Debenham. Violet is everything Maud has been trained to distrust, yet can''t help but desire: a magician, an actress and a magnet for scandal.
  
  Surrounded by open sea and a ship full of suspects, Maud and Violet must learn to drop the masks they''ve learned to wear. Only then might they work together to locate a magical object worth killing for - and unmask a murderer. All without becoming dead in the water themselves.
  
  A Restless Truth by Freya Marske is the thrilling follow-up to A Marvellous Light.
