As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, January Scaller feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls of his sprawling mansion: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange 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.
