The Everlasting

Harrow, Alix E. — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

"Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children's books and recruiting posters--but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory--failed soldier, struggling scholar--falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives--and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una's legend--if they want to tell a different story--they'll have to rewrite history itself"-- Provided by publisher.

From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart.

The Once and Future Witches

Harrow, Alix E. — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT

"In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in Alix E. Harrow's powerful novel of magic and the suffragette movement. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters -- James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna -- join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote -- and perhaps not even to live -- the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be"-- Provided by publisher.

Starling House

Harrow, Alix E. — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT

"Eden, Kentucky, is just another dying, bad-luck town, known only for the legend of E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth-century author and illustrator who wrote The Underland--and disappeared. Before she vanished, Starling House appeared. But everyone agrees that it's best to let the uncanny house--and its last lonely heir, Arthur Starling--go to rot. Opal knows better than to mess with haunted houses or brooding men, but an unexpected job offer might be a chance to get her brother out of Eden. Too quickly, though, Starling House starts to feel dangerously like something she's never had: a home. As sinister forces converge on Starling House, Opal and Arthur are going to have to make a dire choice: to dig up the buried secrets of the past and confront their own fears, or let Eden be taken over by literal nightmares"-- Provided by publisher.

Starling House

Harrow, Alix E. — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT

"Eden, Kentucky, a town unremarkable for a surprising amount of unexplained bad luck and natural disasters and the only known sightings of E. Starling, a nineteenth-century author whose only published book was considered almost as shocking as the author's mysterious disappearance. But Starling left behind one other thing: the imposing house that bears her name. Opal can't resist a chance to see inside. So when an opportunity arises, she jumps at it. But sinister forces are digging into the secrets of Starling House. As Eden itself seems to be drowning in its own ghosts, Opal realizes that she might have found a reason to stick around. And now she'll have to fight"-- Back cover.

"This book has everything you could possibly want this fall...a cursed town, a haunted house, a vivid & eerie setting—plus, characters willing to risk everything." —Reese Witherspoon (Reese's Book Club October '23 Pick)

Starling House is a gorgeous, modern gothic fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

I dream sometimes about a house I've never seen....
Opal is a lot of things—orphan, high school dropout, full-time cynic and part-time cashier—but above all, she's determined to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets them out of Eden, Kentucky, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luck and E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underland, who disappeared over a hundred years ago.
All she left behind were dark rumors—and her home. Everyone agrees that it's best to ignore the uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir, Arthur. Almost everyone, anyway.
I should be scared, but in the dream I don't hesitate.
Opal has been obsessed with The Underland since she was a child. When she gets the chance to step inside Starling House—and make some extra cash for her brother's escape fund—she can't resist.
But sinister forces are digging deeper into the buried secrets of Starling House, and Arthur's own nightmares have become far too real. As Eden itself seems to be drowning in its own ghosts, Opal realizes that she might finally have found a reason to stick around.
In my dream, I'm home.
And now she'll have to fight.

The Everlasting

Harrow, Alix E. — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

A 2026 Audie Awards finalist for Best Fantasy!

"[Narrators Moira] Quirk's and [Sid] Sagar's voices are well suited to their characters and bring nuanced meaning to the story."—AudioFile
From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart.
Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children's books and recruiting posters—but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.
Centuries later, Owen Mallory—failed soldier, struggling scholar—falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives—and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.
But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una's legend—if they want to tell a different story—they'll have to rewrite history itself.

Harrow, Alix E. — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

An NPR Best Book of 2021

A Locus Best Book and Editor Favorite of 2021

Es el vigesimoprimer cumpleaños de Zinnia Gray, un día muy especial porque será el último cumpleaños que celebrará jamás. Cuando era joven, un accidente industrial le provocó una extraña enfermedad. No se sabe mucho sobre ella, pero sí que no le permitirá llegar a cumplir los veintidós.

Su mejor amiga Charm está decidida a conseguir que el ultimo cumpleaños de Zinnia sea toda una experiencia basada en la bella durmiente, con torre, rueca y todo. Pero cuando Zinnia se pincha el dedo, ocurre algo extraño e inesperado que la hace caer entre mundos y encontrar a otra bella durmiente que está tan desesperada como ella por escapar de su destino.

«Una reinvención subversiva y feminista de La bella durmiente, donde un destino implacable no es rival para el coraje, la sororidad, la cabezonería y un buen conocimiento sobre cuentos de hadas.» Katherine Arden

«Una heroína excepcional, una escritura inteligente y una trama ganadora.» Nancy Perla

«Es divertida, aguda, queer y ama profundamente su material de origen. Esta novela se opone a la desesperanza de aquello inevitable; nos desafía a creer en la magia, nos dice que estamos conectados a través de la historia.» NPR

«Un cuento maravillosamente imaginativo y queer para todos aquellos que deseen ser los autores de sus propias historias.» Kalynn Bayron

«Esta es una revisitación autoconsciente y empoderada de La bella durmiente. Un libro emocionante, divertido, inteligente y dulce.» Sarah Pinsker

«Una historia de princesas que se han vuelto rebeldes. En ocasiones dulce y divertida, en otras mordaz, este recorrido por el país de las hadas nos hace cuestionarnos si es posible que queramos algo más que un príncipe y un palacio.» Kerstin Hall

«Harrow crea un mundo exuberante y mágico con personajes bien desarrollados que son fáciles de amar y alentar.» School Library Journal

«Un libro repleto de amistad, fuerza e independencia femenina. Esta combinación de cuento de hadas y película de superhéroes es puro entretenimiento.» Kirkus Reviews

«Harrow revive y rejuvenece el cuento de La bella durmiente con una perspectiva feminista.» Booklist

«Acompañada por las ilustraciones originales de Arthur Rackham, esta es una lectura imprescindible para todos aquellos aficionados a los cuentos de hadas.» Buzzfeed

Las brujas del ayer y del mañana

Harrow, Alix E. — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

GANADORA A LA MEJOR NOVELA DEL AÑO DE LOS BRITISH FANTASY AWARDS.

LA NOVELA DE FANTASÍA MÁS ESPERADA DE LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS.

Una profunda historia sobre la resistencia, la sororidad y el derecho a voto ambientada en una versión alternativa de la Nueva Inglaterra del siglo XIX.

En 1893 ya no hay brujas. En el pasado sí que las había, en esa época oscura e inhóspita antes de que empezasen a encenderse las hogueras. Ahora, la brujería es poco más que hechizos de amas de casa y canciones infantiles. Si la mujer moderna quiere algo de poder, las urnas son el único lugar donde puede llegar a conseguirlo.

Pero James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth y Beatrice Belladonna, las hermanas Eastwood, se unen a las sufragistas de Nueva Salem y empiezan a buscar las palabras y los componentes olvidadas capaces de convertir la revolución de las mujeres en la revolución de las brujas. Las hermanas se verán acechadas por sombras y todo tipo de males, perseguidas por fuerzas que no tienen intención de permitir que las brujan voten, o que vivan siquiera, y tendrán que indagar en magia antigua, forjar nuevas alianzas y solucionar los problemas entre ellas si quieren sobrevivir.

Ya no hay brujas. Pero las habrá.

«En un mundo en el que las mujeres y la magia han ardido y quedado inutilizadas, tres hermanas deciden devolver el poder y los derechos a las mujeres y, al hacerlo, también encuentran la manera de recuperar su relación. Para aquellos lectores a los que gustaron Un cuento oscuro y Circe.» LibraryReads

«Un escape glorioso hacia un mundo en el que la brujería ha quedado reducida a poco más un recuerdo de la magia que antaño perteneció a las mujeres, donde tres hermanas indómitas y vapuleadas por la vida son la clave para traerla de vuelta... Un cuento que te atrapará.» Yangsze Choo

«Un espléndido y apasionante panegírico a la fuerza implacable de las mujeres. Los personajes viven, sangran y rugen. Las adoro, y ojalá la brujería despierte en todas nosotras. Harrow hace que parezca posible y creíble.» Laini Taylor

«Esta novela une lo puntos de manera muy inteligente entre el movimiento sufragista del pasado con el Me Too de hoy en día. Las brujas del ayer y del mañana es una novela imprescindible, cautivadora, estimulante y mágica.» Booklist

«¡Una brillante y mágica obra maestra de la narrativa! Conocerás a las hermanas Eastwood y tendrás que prepararte para las mejores vacaciones dentro de un libro que has tenido en mucho tiempo.» Gwendolyn Womack

«Alix Harrow crea una historia maravillosa y hechizante con historias que resultan familiares pero están recreadas de manera magistral, y también con una creación de mundos muy habilidosa tan rica como su prosa, que parece estar a punto de saltar de las páginas.» P. Djèlí Clark

«Una carta de amor al folklore y a todas las mujeres rebeldes de la historia.» Publishers Weekly

«Es una novela maravillosa y satisfactoria, un relato sobre mujeres que luchan por la igualdad, sobre cuentos de hadas retorcidos hasta quedar convertidos en maravillosos hechizos de brujas, sobre magia tanto grande como pequeña y sobre una historia alternativa. Todo ello narrado con el estilo exquisito de Alix Harrow y sus vívidas caracterizaciones. Un placer de lectura.» Louisa Morgan

«Un libro asombroso, brillante, crudo, oscuro y complicado. Y de una relevancia sorprendente, a decir verdad.» Sarah Gailey

«Una novela excelente y deslumbrante. Una historia de hermanas y brujas, de recuerdos y de poder que rompió en pedazos mi corazón y arraigó en él. La devoré sin piedad...
