Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil: The Dark, Defiant New Epic from V. E. Schwab
The Instant Number One Sunday Times & New York Times Bestseller
A Genre-Defying, Unforgettable Novel to Sink Your Teeth Into . . .
"Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them shallow and water them deep, and in my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth."
A STORY ABOUT IMMORTALITY, HUNGER AND REVENGE.
From V. E. Schwab, the internationally bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, comes a twisting, gothic tale of blood, power, and the terrifying price of freedom.
Three women, centuries apart. One secret desire binds them all: to be more than a pawn in a game played by men.
1532. Santo Domingo: Maria is wild and wily, and knows her beauty is her only currency. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path - a chance to choose her own fate - Maria makes a desperate vow: no regrets.
1827. London: Charlotte lives a cloistered life, her heart full of impossible wishes. Swept away by a beautiful widow's invitation, she discovers the price of freedom is higher than she could have ever imagined.
2019. Boston: Alice moved halfway across the world to escape her past. But a one-night stand leads to chilling consequences. So Alice throws herself into a hunt for answers and revenge that links her to a hunger centuries old.
This is a story about life . . . how it ends, and how it starts again.
'Lyrical and immersive . . . sweeping history, deep emotions and [a] touch of magic'

Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.
