Overview
This two-book collection brings together two of V.E. Schwab's most acclaimed novels: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil weaves three timelines of hunger and transformation. Together, these lyrical, genre-blending novels make a striking gift for fantasy and literary fiction readers, ideal for holiday gifting or a library upgrade.
About the Books
In The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, France, 1714: a young woman desperate to escape a life already chosen for her strikes a bargain with a dark, seductive presence and is granted freedom she never imagined. She wins her freedom, but at a brutal cost — she will live forever, yet be forgotten by everyone she meets the moment they turn away. Addie journeys across three centuries and multiple continents, drifting through art studios, revolutions, and quiet rooms, learning how to survive a life no one remembers. Then, after nearly 300 years, she meets a young man in a used bookstore who remembers her name, changing everything she thought she understood about her curse. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil follows three women bound across centuries by an ancient hunger. In sixteenth-century Spain, a defiant girl dreams beyond the walls of her small town. In nineteenth-century England, a young woman's forbidden desire pulls her into a dangerous new existence. In present-day Boston, a woman named Alice searches for answers after a chance encounter upends her life. As these threads converge, Schwab examines craving, power, and the fierce cost of choosing your own path when the world insists on choosing for you. Both novels showcase Schwab's signature blend of atmospheric prose, morally complex characters, and genre-bending storytelling, moving fluidly between historical fiction, dark fantasy, and character-driven drama that lingers long after the final page.
