Overview:
Two luminous novels by Alix E. Harrow invite you into worlds where doors open onto possibility, memory, and rebellion. The Ten Thousand Doors of January sweeps readers into a grand mansion of curiosities, where January Scaller, raised in privilege yet drawn to the uncanny, discovers ancient doors that link her life to other lands and times. The prose glows with melancholy and wonder, weaving myths into a moving coming-of-age tale about identity, courage, and the power of storytelling. In The Once and Future Witches, Harrow blends feminist history with dark magic as three Eastwood sisters unlock forgotten rites and join a city-wide movement. Together, these two novels offer a spellbinding pair: genre-defying fantasies that celebrate curiosity, sisterhood, and the stubborn, luminous belief that stories—once lit—can alter destinies. Whether you're seeking a winter escape or a bold reread, this set invites you to step through wonder and into a reading journey you won't forget.
What Makes This Collection Special:
Harrow’s two novels sit at a crossroads of myth and modern truth, offering both immersive fantasy and sharp social themes. The Ten Thousand Doors of January rewards patient readers with doorways to other worlds and a heroine who grows through risk, empathy, and curiosity. The Once and Future Witches channels a historical movement into a living, breathing magic system that rewards collective action and shared resilience. Together, they create a reading arc: a first novel's intimate, portal-filled wonder followed by a sweeping, community-centered saga. The collection is ideal for fans who love lyrical prose, intricate world-building, and stories that reward rereading as clues and meanings deepen. It also makes a thoughtful gift for book clubs and collectors who value consistency of voice across a dual-author pairing, and for readers who adore BookTok-fuelled fantasies with enduring literary merit.
Books Included in This Collection:
The Ten Thousand Doors of January
The Ten Thousand Doors of January follows January Scaller, a young woman in a turn-of-the-century mansion who discovers an ancient book that awakens doors to other worlds. The novel blends fairy-tale wonder with real-world longing, exploring identity, belonging, and the courage to step into the unknown. Harrow’s lush prose invites you to trace every door, hear every whisper of possibility, and feel the ache and hope of a life beyond boundaries. It is a story of curiosity embraced, of patience rewarded, and of a girl learning that she herself can become the key to countless beginnings.
The Once and Future Witches
In this sprawling historical fantasy, the Eastwood sisters—Silvie, Marion, and Dex—join the suffrage movement and discover an ancestral magic that binds sisterhood to social change. The novel braids magical rites with activism, creating a modern fable about empowerment, rebellion, and the cost of change. Harrow crafts a richly textured 19th- and 20th-century setting, where witchcraft is both indictment and invitation, and where the courage to demand a better world is tested—and strengthened—by love, loss, and communal courage.
