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.

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.

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.

In einem weitläufigen Herrenhaus voller sonderbarer Schätze ist January selbst eine Kuriosität. Als Mündel des reichen Mr. Locke fühlt sie sich kaum anders als die Artefakte, die die Hallen schmücken: sorgfältig gepflegt, weitgehend ignoriert und völlig fehl am Platz. Dann findet sie ein seltsames Buch. Ein Buch, das den Duft anderer Welten verströmt und von Geheimtüren, von Liebe, Abenteuern und Gefahr erzählt. Jedes Umblättern enthüllt weitere unglaubliche Wahrheiten. Und langsam wird January bewusst, dass sie selbst mehr und mehr mit der Geschichte verkettet wird.
