The Ten Thousand Doors of January

January Scaller is a curiosity in her own right, living in a vast estate crammed with unusual items. As the affluent Mr. Locke's ward, she feels not all that different from the objects that adorn the halls: well-kept, mostly disregarded, and completely out of place.

She then discovers an odd book. A novel that smells of other planets and offers a story of love, adventure, peril, and hidden doors. Every page flip unveils unfathomable facts about the universe, and January learns about a narrative that becomes more and more interwoven with her own.
