In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored and utterly out of place. But her quiet existence is shattered when she stumbles across a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page reveals more impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own. 

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 three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.

The Saint of War spares the life of a servant girl so she can fulfill her destiny as the kingdom’s greatest warrior in this short story of love and loyalty by New York Times bestselling author Alix E. Harrow.

Hundreds of years after the end of the world, the Appalachian community of Iron Hollow finds itself beset by demons. Such horrors are common these days in the outlands, where most folks die young—if they don’t turn into monsters first. When a legendary knight is summoned to hunt down the latest unearthly beast to haunt their woods, the town’s new oral historian, Shrike, has more reason than most to be concerned. Because that demon was her wife. And while Shrike is certain that May still recognizes her—that May is still herself, somewhere beneath it all—she can’t prove it.

Una Everlasting ist eine Legende: das Waisenmädchen, das ein Schwert aus dem mächtigen Stamm einer Eibe zog, zur Ritterin wurde und für Königin und Vaterland starb. Ihre Heldentaten leben weiter in Liedern und Geschichten, in Kinderbüchern und Regierungspropaganda. Owen Mallory ist seit seiner Kindheit von Una fasziniert. Als Soldat gescheitert, fristet er sein Dasein als Historiker an der Universität, als ihm ein kostbares Werk in die Hände fällt: die Aufzeichnung der letzten Queste von Una Everlasting.

Rimasta orfana, Opal ha lasciato la scuola e ora lavora come commessa part time, sperando di guadagnare abbastanza per garantire al fratello Jasper una vita migliore. Una vita lontano da Eden, nel Kentucky, un luogo celebre solo per due cose: la sua sfortuna e la scrittrice E. Starling, autrice del romanzo Il Sottomondo, misteriosamente scomparsa cent'anni prima lasciando dietro di sé solo chiacchiere e un'antica dimora nascosta tra gli alberi. Tutti concordano su un fatto: meglio ignorare quella casa e il suo bizzarro, misantropo proprietario, Arthur Starling. Quasi tutti, a dire il vero.

Zinnia Gray sta per compiere ventun anni. Un compleanno davvero speciale, anche perché è l'ultimo della sua vita. Rimasta vittima di una contaminazione chimica è affetta dalla nascita da una sindrome rara e misteriosa, la Malattia Generalizzata di Roseville. Se ne sa poco, se non che nessuna delle persone che ne hanno sofferto è arrivata ai ventidue anni. La sua migliore e unica amica, Charm, vuole che l'ultimo compleanno di Zinnia sia indimenticabile e le sta preparando una festa sensazionale, tutta in tema "Bella Addormentata" - la sua passione da sempre -, con tanto di torre e arcolaio.

Zinnia Gray, di professione riparatrice di fiabe, ha finito di correre in aiuto di principesse addormentate. Dopo aver salvato decine di donzelle in pericolo, arso una cinquantina di arcolai, e dopo essersi ubriacata con decine di fatine buone e aver limonato con membri di famiglie reali di ogni ordine e grado, comincia a desiderare che tutte quelle fanciulle si diano una mossa e inizino a occuparsi da sole dei loro problemi di trama. Ma proprio quando pensa di non voler soccorrere nessun'altra principessa, si guarda in uno specchio e vede di rimando un volto che la fissa: è il viso del Male che la chiama.
