The Ten Thousand Doors of January

2019

by Alix E. Harrow

Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Harrow's spellbinding debut.

In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book. 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. Then she finds 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 turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

Senior Agent Hamed al-Nasr, alongside his rookie partner Agent Onsi, embarks on a mission to handle a seemingly routine case of a possessed tram car. However, what begins as a straightforward exorcism quickly spirals into a complex investigation as the true nature of the demon within comes to light, threatening the safety of Cairo itself.
