In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

Enter the Bestselling Worlds of V. E. Schwab
A new genre-defying novel about immortality and hunger. The first in Schwab’s addictive Shades of Magic series. Kell, an official ambassador of Red London, is forced to join forces with Delilah Bard, a cut-purse from Gray London. Perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. Schwab’s beloved Shades of Magic trilogy tells the story of a dazzling world of parallel Londons where magic thrives, starves, or lies forgotten, and where power can destroy just as quickly as it can create. A new adventure set in the world of the Shades of Magic series where old friends and foes alike are faced with a dangerous new threat. A gritty story of ambition and jealousy where gaining superpowers doesn’t automatically lead to heroism, and allegiances are called into question. In the thrilling follow-up to Vicious, a super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions leads to a terrible reckoning.
