Starling House

Beskrivelse

Step inside the eerie Starling House, a place shrouded in mystery and dark history. Alix E. Harrow delivers a fresh take on the Beauty and the Beast tale, wrapped in a lush gothic fantasy that will captivate fans of V. E. Schwab and Naomi Novik.

A haunting and modern gothic retelling of Beauty and the Beast, filled with secrets, family ties, and a fight for belonging.

In the town of Eden, no one recalls when Starling House was first built, but everyone agrees it’s best to leave the cursed mansion-and its last remaining heir-to rot. Tales of the house’s misfortune have been passed down like fragile heirlooms, warning all to stay away.

Opal knows better than to get involved with haunted places or brooding men. Yet when a job opportunity at Starling House appears, the promise of money could mean a way out for her brother and a fresh start for them both.

Starling House is full of strange secrets and feels oddly like something Opal has never experienced before: a home. But she’s not the only one drawn to the dark wonders hidden within its walls.

As sinister forces gather in Eden, Opal realizes that claiming this home will demand more than courage-it will require unearthing her family’s darkest past to carve out a brighter future. To survive, she must descend deep beneath Starling House and fight her way back into the light.

This romantic and spellbinding gothic fairy tale comes from Alix E. Harrow, a celebrated author shortlisted for the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards.
